History

Metzler North America draws on the extraordinary history of Bankhaus Metzler - our parent organization - with over 330 years of successful international investment experience.

Bankhaus B. Metzler seel. Sohn & Co. KGaA (Bankhaus Metzler) is the oldest privately-held investment bank in Germany. The bank was founded in 1674 as a commercial trading business in Frankfurt am Main; it has evolved into an internationally recognized global investment bank with an unbroken history of family ownership.

Metzler North America Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bankhaus Metzler, was founded in 1976 to create and manage North American real estate portfolios for Bankhaus Metzler clients and compatible co-investors. We derive institutional stability from being an integral part of a globally diversified private banking company.
