Finanzbranche: Krakau statt Frankfurt: Fondsdienstleister streicht Stellen in Deutschland
Universal Investment will bis Mitte 2027 Geschäftsteile nach Polen verlagern. Davon ist etwa jeder zehnte Job des Unternehmens in Deutschland betroffen.
Universal Investment, a major player in the financial services industry, is planning to relocate a significant portion of its operations to Krakow, Poland, potentially shedding 170 jobs in Germany and Luxembourg. According to documents obtained by the Handelsblatt, the company currently employs about 650 full-time staff in Germany and roughly 400 in Luxembourg.
Universal Investment provides services to fund managers and institutional investors. The company was sold in 2014 to private equity firm Montagu by banking houses Berenberg and Lampe. In 2021, Universal Investment acquired an Irish service subsidiary from Metzler bank. The restructuring aims to cause unrest among employees, as it plans to shift "selected activities" currently carried out in Germany and Luxembourg to Krakow.
Around 170 full-time positions are affected, including about 70 in Germany and around 100 in Luxembourg, which amounts to one in ten jobs in Germany and one in four in Luxembourg.
