A deep understanding of their investment needs, proactive coverage and personal dedication, paired with strong expertise and passion for the product is the key to a successful relationship."

Stephanie Prelle | Managing Director

Sierra Capital

Sierra Capital was founded in 2018 as a placement agent for alternative and structured investment solutions in Frankfurt, Germany.

Our primary objective is to bring together high-quality asset managers with our established institutional investor network in Germany. With Frankfurt being our home base, we operate in close proximity to the investors, which allows us to act as a reliable local representative for international asset managers. Our service goes beyond the pure placement of funds. We support our product partners not only with dedicated capital raising services, but also provide advisory support to asset managers in the product design phase, as well as acting as a local coverage specialist for ongoing investor servicing.

Sierra Capital is an expert in alternative and structured investment solutions. Based on many years working for major international investment banks in London and Frankfurt and a broad network in alternative markets, Sierra Capital is well positioned to identify managers that we consider attractive for the German market.

Since 2022, Sierra Capital has been working in an exclusive private markets partnership with the international fundraising and strategic advisory firm Reach Capital, which has been active in alternatives for more than a decade and has already been involved in advising over 10 billion euros in private markets capital from international investors. Through this partnership and the comprehensive expertise of Reach Capital, Sierra Capital can offer German institutional investors access to established, attractive managers in the private markets sector.
