We are delighted that some of these esteemed partners and friends have written greetings to mark our 10th birthday.

“…has always been a part of the tradition of this location. These small and medium-sized companies have stood out particularly for their entrepreneurial spirit, a high level of specialisation, as well as an extraordinary flexibility with respect to individual customer wishes. These are strengths that can also be relied on in difficult times.

The Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe was established as one of these small and medium-sized businesses in the Frankfurt financial centre and has come a long way along an extremely successful path in only ten years. I wish both the company and its employees continued success in the decades ahead.”

“In the process, I believe they will demonstrate that doing good business can also do good for the people of Africa, giving them opportunities to sustain themselves by the fruits of their labor, not by government hand-outs. As pioneers on the new frontier of African investment, they bring credit to Germany and hope to Africa.”

“Entrepreneurial spirit, an open mind for local issues and a deep passion for the African Continent reflect their way of doing business. I wish the Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe all the best for their 10th year anniversary and a lot of success in the upcoming ten years.”

“I wish all five partners of Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe continued success in their entrepreneurial efforts.”

“That is why we welcome Altira’s strategy as one of the first large European private equity investors in our region and in Rwanda, and are pleased at the partnership. Christian Angermayer was appointed a member of my Presidential Advisory Council and we appreciate his personal commitment as well as that of his four partners in contributing to the growth of the private sector in Rwanda. I send the Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe my congratulations for their 10-year-anniversary, our very best wishes and continued success for the coming years.”

“…allow them to continue implementing innovative ideas in the future. This need is fulfilled by private equity investors like the Altira Group that understand the German market and help ensure that Germany will have the ability to meet future challenges in order to remain a high-technology country. I would like to wish Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe, and in particular the Private Equity business area, where everything began in 1998, all the best on their anniversary and great success in the years ahead.”

“…than the former business models of Finanzplan Fonds-Marketing GmbH, Deutsche Maklerservice AG and Dr. Jung & Partner GmbH. Christian Angermayer’s vision and the active support of Dr. Grabmaier, John E. Schröder, Ralph Konrad, Peter Brumm and Andreas Lange have combined to give us a young, experienced and dynamic team that has achieved outstanding rates of growth in its initial years and will continue to focus on our goal of becoming the best independent financial services provider in the Federal Republic of Germany.”

“As a result, the decision to strengthen our previous collaboration with Aragon through investment was an easy one, as both partners benefit from this cooperation. Aragon contributes its great experience as an independent financial advisor and adds unique products to its product range, such as TwinStar for pension planning. At AXA, Aragon’s sales know-how helps us to learn more about future customer requirements for financial products.

I am certain that AXA and Aragon will be among the winners in the changing insurance market and presumably even more strongly changing sales environment, and will also be among the players that are actively shaping this market.”

“Undoubtedly the highlight of my professional year was attending the 50-year celebration for Dr. Klaus Jung in Wiesbaden on September 9 and having the chance to greet him on that magnificent occasion. Pioneer and Dr. Jung have had a close business relationship for four decades, and we cannot adequately express our gratitude for the warmth and benefit of that association. As the economic clouds gather, we recall that Dr. Jung and we have been through other difficult times and that after the storm has abated, the sun has always burst forth again in all its brilliance. We trust that investors will recall that now, when, in the U. S., so many stocks are selling at near record-low earnings multiples, and many corporate bonds, at near record-high spreads. To conclude, may I also send my congratulations to Dr. Sebastian Grabmaier, CEO of Jung, DMS & Cie. AG, and to the Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe as they mark their tenth anniversary. Every best wish for 2009!”

“I am very proud of what the five partners have been able to achieve from their modest beginning as a small company through entrepreneurial commitment, caution, especially in difficult market periods, and strategic foresight. On the occasion of their anniversary, I therefore offer my sincere congratulations and look forward to working with them for many more years to come.”

“I (…) welcome the fact that the investments in CDM projects focussing on India and China that were made by ecolutions, a German company belonging to Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe, in its eCC Global Carbon Portfolio are already developing prospects extending beyond the year 2012. By means of its investments in climate protection projects and sales of the resulting emission rights in the European emissions trading system as well as in the US and Australia, ecolutions is actively contributing to the development of an inter national emissions market. This will further strengthen the call for political inclusion of these countries into the global carbon market, thereby also strengthening the effectiveness of climate protection.

My sincere congratulations to Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe on their 10th anniversary, and best wishes for continued success in the years and decades to come.”

“As the Ambassador of Rwanda, I am naturally very proud that you have also invested your energy and know-how in my home country. My special thanks go to Christian Angermayer for daring to take the first step and perform what one might call pioneering work in Rwanda. As a result, he is realising the vision of the German Chancellor, the German President and of the G8 member countries by actually taking advantage of investment opportunities in Africa.

One could also describe him as the true emissary of this vision. He senses the potential that is present in this continent, and its people and resources. He understands that we all belong to one world. I look forward to working with him further and wish the entire team all the best and much success in the future!”

“…continue as countries deepen the implementation of policies designed to enhance further Africa’s development prospects. I appreciate therefore the entrepreneurial spirit and asset management approach which the Altira Group has brought to the continent with the establishment of its Africa-focused private equity fund and the investments it has made in many African countries. I congratulate the complete Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Group on its 10-year anniversary and hope that it will intensify its African-related activities in the coming years.”

“The partners and employees of Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe have provided impressive evidence of this entrepreneurial expertise over the past ten years. I am very pleased to give the entire team my sincere congratulations on this anniversary and wish them continued success in future years.”

“ABL’s activities in Africa are an excellent example for such passionate entrepreneurship. I wish Christian Angermayer as my colleague in President Kagame’s advisory council and the complete Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Unternehmensgruppe all the best for their 10th year anniversary and a lot of success in the upcoming decades.”

“Our main common goal is to develop Altira AG into Germany’s leading independent asset manager over the next few years. I wish the five partners all the best on their 10th anniversary and look forward to working together with them in the years and decades to come.”

“Investments, projects and strategic in vestments are approached and executed with passion, intelligence and professionalism. Execution options are also available for unconventional and unusual ideas, based on the motto ‘Anything is possible’. Keep up the good work. I look forward to working together with you on many new projects in the future.”

“They understand that simple cost-benefit analyses are of little help and embody the controlling values that guide the actions of the team. They are entrepreneurs as described by Schumpeter: The team moves from success to success by thinking the unthinkable. I send them my best wishes for their 10th anniversary.”
