Background

Christian Gattiker is associated with HNW Family Office AG, an independent multi-family office headquartered at Seestrasse 77, 8703 Erlenbach, on Lake Zürich, with a branch in Basel (established November 2007). Public directory and email records identify him as a contact at the firm ([hidden]). HNW Family Office AG describes itself as offering a service portfolio "that goes beyond the services of banks and pure asset managers," serving high-net-worth families with complex, multi-generational business interests. The firm began in 1994 as a single-family office and opened its multi-family model around 1997; it is registered in the Swiss commercial register as CHE-108.568.380 and is a small firm (roughly 2–10 employees). Its founder and board chair is Dr. Michael Werner, with André Berghoff listed as a director. Christian Gattiker does not appear in the firm's registered board/officer list, indicating he functions as an employee, advisor, or partner rather than a statutory officer.

The firm's registered corporate purpose is asset management under Switzerland's Financial Institutions Act (FinIA/FinIG), together with advisory, fiduciary, and "interface" services in financial and wealth planning for individuals, families, companies, and entrepreneurs. This positions Gattiker's work in the wealth-structuring and investment-advisory space rather than as a conventional standalone startup angel.

Swiss corporate records associate a Christian Gattiker resident in the Küsnacht/Erlenbach area — matching the HNW Family Office locale — with a former board seat (collective signature authority) at Performa Investment Advisory AG in Zug, from which he has since departed. This is the clearest verifiable investment-related affiliation in the public record, though the identity match cannot be confirmed with certainty.

Important disambiguation: This person should *not* be confused with Christian Gattiker-Ericsson, CFA, CAIA, the well-known Chief Strategist and Global Head of Research at Bank Julius Baer (educated in economics and political science at the University of Bern). That is a different individual at a different institution; the two are frequently conflated in search results, but the email domain in this profile (hnwoffice.ch) points unambiguously to HNW Family Office AG.

Investment Thesis & Focus

  • No published personal investment thesis, stated check size, or sector preference could be located from primary sources for the HNW Family Office Christian Gattiker.
  • As a multi-family office, HNW Family Office AG's mandate centers on asset management, financial/estate planning, and fiduciary services for wealthy families and entrepreneurs — activities that can include direct and co-investments, but no public evidence confirms a dedicated seed/angel program.
  • The "Seed Round / Angel Investor" tag in the originating database appears to be an aggregator classification and is not corroborated by any verifiable deal record, portfolio page, or the investor's own writing.

Notable Investments

  • No angel or seed-stage startup investments attributable to this Christian Gattiker could be verified from public sources.
  • The only investment-adjacent affiliation found in corporate records is a former board directorship at Performa Investment Advisory AG (Zug) — an advisory entity, not a startup — and even this identity match is not certain.
  • (Note: a separate Christian Gattiker holds/held a Prokurist role at Revoltab AG in Cham, but that record lists a different town of residence and is likely a different person; it is not attributed here.)
