ASSET-SERVICING CONFERENCE 2026
Under the guiding theme “Dialogue. Perspectives. Solutions.”, institutional investors, management companies (KVGs), depositaries and other market participants will discuss current market changes, new provider structures and strategic developments in asset servicing.
A key focus of the conference will be the Elevator Pitch sessions, in which leading management companies and depositaries present their service models and strategic approaches in a concise and structured format.
The program will be complemented by keynote speeches, specialist presentations and panel discussions that examine the market environment both from an investor’s perspective and from the service provider’s point of view.
The content focus ranges from market attractiveness and consolidation to selection criteria and future requirements in asset servicing – covering both the German and Luxembourg markets.
“Asset servicing is a central pillar of institutional asset management. The market is undergoing profound change, making transparency, exchange and comparability more important than ever,”
says Jürgen Scharfenorth, moderator of the conference. “With the Asset Servicing Conference, we create a platform that fosters dialogue, brings together perspectives and highlights concrete solutions.”
The event will conclude with an evening program including dinner and an award ceremony honoring individuals who have made a lasting impact on asset servicing.

Infrastructure Investment Forum 2026 – Impulses for Germany as a Business Location
Many thanks to all participants of the Infrastructure Investment Forum in Fulda!
The day clearly demonstrated how important close cooperation between municipalities, energy utilities, institutional investors and the financial sector is for Germany’s future.
- Investments are location decisions
- Infrastructure requires strong partnerships
- Energy and transformation projects need reliable financing
- Practical case studies show: the capability to deliver is there
Particularly valuable: insights from ongoing projects – ranging from municipal energy initiatives to grid expansion and modernization.
At the same time, it also became clear: there ist still homework to do.
More efficient approvals, less bureaucracy, faster procedures and stronger political support remain key prerequisites to ensure that infrastructure and transformation projects can be implemented on time.
Conclusion: Germany has enormous potential. If we develop solutions together, accelerate processes and strengthen financing pathways, we will secure innovation, competitiveness and stable infrastructure for the years ahead.
Many thanks to all contributors, speakers and partners for a valuable exchange!
Save the date: Next Infrastructure Investment Forum on 29 October 2026 in Hamburg.
