European Capital Partners

European Capital Partners is a Luxembourg-based asset management boutique managing its portfolios based on a consistent entrepreneurial value investing approach. The company was founded in 2010 by two entrepreneurs, Patrick Hansen and Knut Reinertz, with the vision of offering customers access to private and public value based investments throughout different asset classes and structures. In 2014, the partnership has been opened strategically to the long term companion and passionate value investor Léon Kirch. Léon Kirch, who has been fascinated by the value investing style since the beginning of his education and career as a professional investor more than twenty years ago, offered with his entrepreneurial approach to value investing the ideal strategic complement to the firm. Under his leadership, ECP is expanding its expertise in asset management into actively managed strategies in listed equities. European Capital Partners is a modern value investor, offering an innovative approach to the 90-year history of value investing. Following the footsteps of Benjamin Graham, Léon Kirch has developed his unique way of looking at value investing. Léon Kirch calls his own style "Entrepreneurial Value Investing”, where in the combination of entrepreneurial thinking with high conviction and consistent implementation, he has been achieving an outstanding performance over the last seventeen years for the companies and products he has been investing for. Today, investors have access to these value based strategies within a Luxembourg based investment fund or through Managed Accounts. Clients are served by an experienced and competent Luxembourg-based sales team in five languages.
