Supporting every step of your asset management recruitment journey
Specialist recruitment in asset management
Germany’s asset management sector is evolving quickly, with Frankfurt as a leading European hub and Munich and Hamburg also driving growth. At Selby Jennings, we partner with firms across the country to identify professionals who can strengthen portfolios, manage risk, and deliver performance across equities, bonds, and alternative investments.
Recruitment shaped to your business
No two firms are alike. Some are focused on building trading expertise, others on scaling investment teams or strengthening compliance. Our recruitment strategies are designed around your firm’s culture and objectives, so every hire supports both immediate needs and long-term growth.
Talent networks across Germany and abroad
We connect firms with leading professionals across Germany while also drawing on our international network when specialist skills are required. From investment analysts and portfolio managers to senior executives, our reach gives clients access to talent that adds measurable value.
A partnership approach
We see recruitment as more than filling a vacancy. By working closely with firms during periods of change, expansion, or restructuring, we provide market insight, salary benchmarking, and strategic hiring advice. This approach builds lasting partnerships and helps firms stay competitive in Germany’s financial industry.
Selby Jennings supports a broad range of firms with asset management hiring, including but not limited to:
- Traditional asset managers
- Multi-asset and balanced fund platforms
- ESG and sustainable investment firms
- Thematic and sector-focused managers
- OCIO providers and institutional allocators

…and many more investment firms where performance, precision, and portfolio strategy are mission-critical.

Asset management recruitment insights
FAQs
Competition for skilled professionals in Frankfurt and Munich is strong, particularly in portfolio management, risk, and compliance. Firms also face challenges finding candidates with ESG and sustainable investment expertise, which is a growing focus in the German market.
Frankfurt is the leading hub, home to major asset managers, banks, and the European Central Bank. Munich is a strong centre for insurance and investment management. Hamburg and Düsseldorf also have growing demand for asset management professionals, particularly in wealth management and advisory services.
Regulations from BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) and EU frameworks such as MiFID II and UCITS shape hiring needs. Firms require professionals who can demonstrate expertise in compliance, governance, and risk management to meet these regulatory standards.
Mid-level analyst or associate roles may be filled within 6–8 weeks. Senior portfolio managers or distribution heads can take several months, depending on niche expertise, market competition, and regulatory requirements.
The process typically takes between six and ten weeks. Senior or highly specialised positions may take longer, especially when international talent is considered. Timelines are influenced by candidate availability, regulatory requirements, and the seniority of the role.
