“Deutsche Investment maintains a holistic focus on stable growth. That is what motivates decisions like this one. Sascha Basic strengthens the core business of the corporate group: sales and transactions management.

On the senior management level, we meet this requirement not least by taking Sascha Basic aboard, where he will joint Dirk Meissner as Chairman, Simon Graf and Andreas Rakel,” emphasised Andread Lehner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Investment Kapitalverwaltung AG.
At the same time, Enver Büyükarslan, the main shareholder of Deutsche Investment Group, and Sascha Basic will be setting up a new private limited company, Deutsche Investment Management GmbH.

In addition, the group’s risk classes will be expanded to include value-add while single commercial investment mandates are to be intensified beyond the residential asset class. Going forward, the holistic approach of the group of companies will give investors the opportunity to buy into renewable energies investments.
“Due to the way it is organised in structural, human resource and financial terms, the Deutsche Investment Group offers a superb baseline set-up for exploiting market-driven opportunities. So, what I look forward to more than anything else is the prospect of helping to shape these freely defined development options and to master the associated challenges,” stated Sascha Basic.
“Given the current market cycle, it makes me particularly glad to have gained Sascha Basic for our Deutsche Investment Group. He will be instrumental in the consistent pursuit of our growth targets, and in the expansion of our group of companies. What I find particularly reassuring as partner is that Sascha Basic with his know-how will expand the need-driven value chain of our group – giving us every hope for a sustained long-term partnership,” added Enver Büyükarslan, the main shareholder of the Deutsche Investment Group.
