ALEX MEHSER

VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD, CEO

—

The beginnings of Alex’s professional career date to 1991, when during his studies of mechanical engineering at the TU Wien, he started working for a surveying company. From 1995-2005, Alex focused on trading equities and various kinds of equity related derivative instruments as a member of the trading division of Erste österreichische Spar-Casse, Erste Invest Consult (from 1997 Erste Bank Oesterreich). After the Austrian Futures and Options Exchange (OeTOB) started their CEE related products, Alex was strongly involved in setting up Erste Bank’s derivative trading and market making activities in those markets.

In 1999, the team changed to Österreichische Volksbanken AG (OeVAG), where Alex led the equity and derivatives trading team that also developed and hedged the bank’s portfolio of structured products. At this time, Alex also created a systematic and automated managed-futures-trading program. In 2006, Alex’s team’s strategy was opened for private clients. In October 2008, when the markets were hit by the financial crisis, the fund surged to the top spot in BARRON’S Magazine’s worldwide CTA rankings with a performance of 38,9%.

In 2009, Alex founded KAHLENBERG Capital AG, a Liechtenstein based and licensed asset management company and continued with his team managing OeVAG’s Managed Futures Funds. He has resided in the Principality of Liechtenstein since 2011. After KAHLENBERG was purchased in 2017 by Matúš Gémeš, the name of the company and its business focus changed to the management of private equity and real estate fund strategies. Together, Alex and Matúš are developing Legacy Investment Funds‘ strategies, its vision, and manage its performance.
