Swiss Finance & Property – a company specializing in real estate investment and advisory services – has successfully hired Adrian Murer as the new Group CEO. The addition of Adrian Murer will allow the two founders (Hans-Peter Bauer and Adrian Schenker) to focus on their strategic tasks as members of the Board of Directors of SFP Group and on developing foreign business, thus separating the strategic and operational management of the company.
Founded in 2001 by Hans-Peter Bauer and Adrian Schenker, SFP Group has since become one of the largest independent real estate asset managers in Switzerland and one of the most renowned investment advisory companies. Today SFP Group manages a total value of assets in excess of six billion Swiss francs. The company offers a broad range of real estate products and services to institutional and private investors as well as wholesale customers.
Separation of strategic and operational leadership
For years Hans-Peter Bauer and Adrian Schenker have shared various roles within the company including President, Member of the Board of Directors as well as being the CEO and the Deputy CEO of the SFP Group. As of 2020 they aim to streamline their dual functions and to concentrate their efforts on strategic projects, tasks of the Board of Directors and developing business overseas.
