Sebastian H. Lohmer, a cheerful Cologne native and Hamburg resident by choice with a background in banking and AIFMs, stands for extremely well-founded expertise and a broad network with institutional investors and real estate providers. In addition to positions with banks, stockbrokers and US real estate managers, Sebastian can look back on a very successful career in the world of regulated real estate investments. He was responsible for over EUR 30 billion AuM in several capital management companies as the responsible business leader. Now 5QRE will benefit from this special wealth of experience.
Sebastian H. Lohmer is an independent consultant for special tasks and projects in the field of real estate investment. Until this spring, he was Managing Director of three capital management companies at one of the largest European real estate investment managers and was responsible for real estate funds with around EUR 30 billion, which were managed by a total of almost 200 employees. Since 2013, he has made a significant contribution to the considerable growth of the companies. He had already been dedicated to the regulated fund business for institutional investors since 2006, when he joined the management of a Munich-based AIFM with an international insurance background.
Before 5QRE, Stephan Helmich was Head of Product Development & Management at a large Hamburg-based company. There he contributed significantly to the development of the product range and the company, promoted his own ideas with all relevant departments and turned them into successful investments for institutional clients.
Stephan took his first steps in institutional investment management at an even larger address in Hamburg, where he was, among other things, responsible for national and international participations. Already the final thesis of his MBA studies was dedicated to the question of how professional pension funds can optimally exploit their real estate quota. So he knows what he is doing.
Outside of 5QRE, Stephan enjoys having a child with his wife, stands up for law and justice as an honorary judge, suffers (sometimes more sometimes less) with HSV and knows almost everything about cars, especially if they come from Zuffenhausen.
Before 5QRE, Söhnke Wandt was the Director Asset Management Intelligent System Solutions for an international team at one of the largest real estate investment companies in Europe. His team and he were responsible for not only compiling real estate data for the countless properties from various sectors, but also analysing it from a real estate perspective and from a risk point of view.
Söhnke has combined his fascination for real estate and data since his studies and from the beginning of his professional career. So he knows what he is doing.
Outside of 5QRE, Söhnke enjoys travelling, spending time with friends at home and abroad, winning football betting games by a wide margin and being the world's best Fifa player (at 5QRE).
Before 5QRE, Tina Hermann spent seven years as Director Fund Management at one of Europe's largest real estate investment companies, where she was responsible for numerous, sometimes very complex mandates. Most recently, she was primarily responsible for the European residential real estate investments of a well-known major German investment company, where she held the strings across all relevant disciplines. Before taking over the European seperate account, Tina was responsible for several classic vehicles (both multi-investor and single-investor funds) with a focus on German residential real estate.
Tina has got to know the fund world from all sides in her professional career. Starting with classic reporting and controlling/valuation of commercial and residential properties, she has always been happy to act as a contact person for investors and their concerns and feels at home in the world of figures. So she knows what she is doing.
Besides 5QRE, Tina enjoys her family, goes on holiday and is the most elegant stand-up paddler ... at least in Bavaria.
