About the firm
A Berlin-based advisory firm built on financial precision and institutional trust.
Kourounde Strategies UG advises corporations, embassies and international organizations on strategic capital allocation, risk governance and long-term financial performance. Our practice combines the analytical rigor of investment banking with the discretion and policy fluency required by diplomatic and sovereign clients.
Mandate
What we do
We act as the financial counterpart to executive committees, boards and ambassadorial offices when the stakes — and the consequences — are material. Our engagements span corporate finance advisory, sovereign portfolio construction, restructuring, and the design of governance frameworks that withstand regulatory and market scrutiny.
Each mandate is led by a senior practitioner. We deliberately keep our portfolio of active clients narrow, ensuring that every engagement receives the attention, preparation and follow-through expected at the institutional level.
Operating principles
Four principles that govern every engagement.
01
Discretion
Mandates are executed under strict confidentiality protocols, appropriate for sovereign and institutional clients.
02
Precision
Recommendations are grounded in rigorous quantitative analysis, scenario modeling and stress-testing.
03
Independence
We accept no commissions or product distribution incentives — our counsel is structurally aligned with the client.
04
Long horizon
We measure success in compounded outcomes across cycles, not quarterly performance.
Mandates worldwide.
From Berlin and Frankfurt, we serve clients across Europe, West Africa, the Gulf and North America — coordinating with local counsel, custodians and regulators in each jurisdiction.
