A short Interview with...

Thomas Eser

Can you introduce yourself in a few words?

My name is Thomas Eser and I am a Senior Consultant at alpha portfolio advisors. My main task is to prepare various quantitative analyses of asset managers and market conditions in the respective asset classes for our clients as part of the manager selection process and to continuously develop our versatile quantitative analysis tools. I also manage our proprietary alphaport® manager database, which we use to screen the manager universe in our selection processes.

Can you tell us something about your career path and how you came to alpha portfolio advisors?

As part of my diploma thesis on dynamic asset allocation strategies in cooperation with risklab, my literature research inevitably led to publications by Uhlenbruch Verlag (including "Handbuch Asset Allocation"). The publisher and one of the authors was a certain Dr. Jochen Kleeberg. When I noticed a job advertisement from alpha portfolio advisors after finishing my studies in 2006 and realized that the theoretical work of the authors would be put into practice as Managing Directors of alpha portfolio advisors, things took their course and I joined the team in May 2007.

What excites you about working at alpha portfolio advisors?

alpha portfolio advisors offers a dynamic working environment that is characterized by a high level of commitment and personal responsibility. For example, I was entrusted early on with the development of our alphaport® manager database and the quantitative analysis tools. The "alpha" corporate culture not only impresses with a pronounced willingness to perform and high quality standards, but also with personality, freedom and individuality.
