The origin of our company goes back to the year 2007. At this time a team of nine employees of IFOS Internationale Fonds Service AG – a wholly owned subsidiary of VP Bank AG – decided, to act autonomously in an own association in the future and to found the Ahead Group.

The Executive Board Members of IFOS AG, Wolfgang Mayer and Peter Bargetze, had been responsible for the fund business of VP Bank AG as from 1996. Among other things their field of responsibility contained the setup of VP Bank fund range, the setup of a Relationship Management for third party funds, the conception and implementation of the Fund-of-Fund Management for traditional and alternative funds and mainly the setup of the “Formation of Private Label Funds”. In this time IFOS grew up to on of the largest fund service providers in Liechtenstein. Midyear 2007 the fund assets under administration represented 8 Billion Swiss Francs.

Within Ahead Wealth Solutions AG Wolfgang Mayer as CEO and Peter Bargetze as CFO bear operational responsibility for the association. They are supported by Bianca Sprecher (Head of Fund Setup), Erich Hagen (Head of IT) and Thomas Mähr (Head of Fund Administration & Relationship Management), who act as directors in the Extended Executive Board. All of them were already responsible for these areas respectively operated in these areas over several years.

Our core activity is the administration of mutual funds. Also in this area Ahead Wealth Solutions AG can revert to an experienced and well-rehearsed team which has a long experience in the areas of fund administration, tax reporting and investment controlling. Especially we would like to point out our service concept: The colleagues of the fund administration department also act as Client Relationship Managers and they are the main contact point and interface for all questions, problems and wishes of our clients – as a matter of course we offer this personal support in five languages because we want  to be at our clients’ disposal in their native language.
