About Us

Crystals formed under great pressure are amongst the strongest crystalline objects, like diamonds. Similar to those crystals, Crystal Asset Management AG evolved to be strong, clear and refined.

 

In 2011, Dieter Albrecht and Bruno Teta founded Crystal Asset Management in order to continue servicing longstanding clients. From its beginnings in 2011, Crystal seized its grass roots opportunity to evolve the traditional asset management business model and build a modern portfolio management boutique. From the start, clients understood Crystal’s vision was geared fully toward their interests.

Over the years, Crystal has refined and broadened its product offerings, optimizing processes and proactively integrating regulatory aspects into its business model, thus building on its commitment to transparency and adding value for its clients. We actively engage with our clients and their families, not only covering your financial needs, but also providing support in your endeavors, next generation induction, and estate planning.

 

Standing by our convictions at all times, Crystal has proven its resilience.
