The Story Behind Marcard & Schaefer
Building intelligent financial solutions since 2018, one breakthrough at a time
We started with a simple question: what if technology could help people make better investment decisions? Seven years later, our AI-powered platform serves thousands of clients who trust us to navigate complex markets with precision and transparency.
Our Journey Forward
Every milestone taught us something new about serving our clients better. Here's how we've grown from a small team with big ideas into a trusted partner for serious investors.
The Beginning
Two former Goldman Sachs analysts decided traditional investment research was too slow for modern markets. We launched our first machine learning model from a small office in Berlin, processing market data in ways nobody had tried before.
Breaking Through
Our AI correctly predicted the March volatility when most analysts missed it completely. That's when institutional clients started paying attention. We expanded our team to 15 specialists and moved into larger offices on Kurfürstendamm.
Going Global
We launched our US operations and achieved BaFin regulatory approval. Our platform now processes over 2 million data points daily, serving clients across three continents. But we still remember where we started — helping real people make smarter financial decisions.
What Drives Us Every Day
These aren't just words on a wall. They're the principles that guide every decision we make, every algorithm we build, and every conversation we have with clients.
Data-First Decisions
We don't chase trends or follow gut feelings. Every recommendation comes from rigorous analysis of market patterns, backed by transparent methodology you can understand and verify.
Your Goals, Our Priority
Cookie-cutter strategies don't work in real life. We build custom models based on your specific situation, risk tolerance, and timeline — because your financial future is unique.
Complete Transparency
No black boxes or mysterious algorithms. We explain exactly how our AI reaches its conclusions, what factors it considers, and why we recommend specific actions for your portfolio.
Speed with Precision
Markets move fast, but rushing leads to mistakes. Our technology gives us the speed to react quickly while maintaining the accuracy that protects your investments from costly errors.
Meet Our Team
Behind every analysis is a real person who understands that your financial decisions affect your life, your family, and your future plans.
