Thomas Pass

Managing Director

Focus areas

  • Foundations and institutional clients
  • Private and institutional clients
  • Investment fund advisory
Curriculum vitae

Thomas’ interest in financial markets - and above all in the human aspects of this highly complex system - has been a unifying factor in his career since his first entry into the world of banking in 1986. This led to him being given early responsibility for advising wealthy private clients. Later came a professional engagement with non-profit foundations and companies. In this way, Thomas implements his personal understanding that success on the financial markets need not just benefit individual investors, but can also make a contribution to the greater good. Before joining BPM-Berlin Portfolio Management in 2013, he worked for many years at Commerzbank, at a large cooperative bank in Berlin, and for UBS Deutschland AG. To balance his often highly analytical and intellectual professional activities, his private interests include outdoor activities (especially involving water), an arsenal of string instruments, and a lively interest in books - particularly German and European history, or biographies of historical figures.
