Victory Capital Academy Co-Founder Matthias Kronberg: Driving Europe’s Multi-Asset Investment Trends Through Education

In the European financial community, German investment expert Matthias Kronberg has long been recognized for his distinctive investment philosophy and profound expertise in asset management. As Co-Founder of Victory Capital Academy (VCA), he is leading a new direction in European investment education through innovative practical training and case-based learning, nurturing a new generation of investment professionals.

Over Two Decades in Capital Markets: From Bank Analyst to Investment Mentor

With more than 20 years of global asset management experience, Matthias Kronberg’s career spans major financial markets across Europe and North America. He began his career in 1995 at Deutsche Bank, starting as a capital markets researcher and gradually advancing to become a leading investment manager. Later, as a Senior Manager at Goldman Sachs, he was involved in global multi-asset and fund portfolio management, providing cross-border capital allocation and risk management solutions to institutional clients across Europe.

In 2014, Matthias joined Victory Capital as Vice President, overseeing investment portfolio management and client relations across the European market. He has actively promoted the adoption and growth of ETFs and multi-asset strategies in Europe, providing professional asset allocation advice to pension funds, family offices, and institutional investors, with total assets under management exceeding USD 5 billion.

Founding VCA: Integrating Investment Education and Financial Culture

Throughout his career, Matthias has remained committed to the belief that “education is the foundation of long-term investment success.” Guided by this philosophy, he co-founded Victory Capital Academy (VCA) to offer structured training that helps investors deeply understand financial markets and master practical investment skills.

VCA’s curriculum covers core areas such as active investment management, multi-asset allocation, technology and emerging industry research, and risk control, with a strong emphasis on case-based and experiential learning. Matthias integrates his extensive global investment experience into the coursework, advocating an investment philosophy centered on balancing risk and return, helping participants turn theoretical knowledge into actionable investment strategies.

Expert Faculty and Strategic Presence in Core European Markets

VCA brings together a team of distinguished mentors from leading European business schools and financial institutions, working alongside Matthias to lead teaching and research. The academy currently focuses on five key markets: Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, and Hungary.

According to Matthias, this regional focus is strategically designed: Germany’s vast pension and institutional investment markets provide strong growth opportunities; Switzerland’s financial-center status offers unique advantages for family offices and institutional investors; while Belgium, Austria, and Hungary show high potential in rapidly developing capital markets.

Looking Ahead: Empowering Investment Through Education, Leading Change Through Expertise

Looking to the future, Matthias plans to deepen VCA’s localized and customized presence across Europe, while expanding its educational model to more countries. His goal is to help investors master the key skills required for cross-border investing and multi-asset allocation.

He emphasizes that as global financial markets continue to evolve and grow in complexity, multi-asset allocation and practice-based teaching will become essential in cultivating the next generation of investment professionals. VCA will continue to serve as a bridge between knowledge and practice, advancing investment education across Europe and beyond.
