Building on a Strong Foundation: Our Origins and Evolution


ad fontes traces its roots back to 2007 when it was established within the global investment and asset management powerhouse, Babcock & Brown. Operating within this dynamic environment, we honed our expertise and laid the foundation for what would become a remarkable journey.


In 2009, a pivotal moment in our history arrived as we underwent a transformative process—a Management Buy-Out (MBO) that led to the emergence of ad fontes. With this strategic move, we transitioned into an independent entity, the ad fontes Initiator GmbH.


This evolution marked a new chapter in our corporate story, one characterized by autonomy, innovation, and a renewed commitment to delivering excellence. As we look back on our journey, we remain grateful for our origins within Babcock & Brown, which equipped us with the skills, experience, and vision to become the thriving entity we are today.


Our journey continues, guided by the same principles of integrity, expertise, and dedication that have been our compass from the beginning. We look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead and the positive impact we will continue to make in the industry.



What sets us apart is our deep expertise in Leadership Managment, Structured Financing and Facilitating Resources, a team of passionate professionals, and a genuine enthusiasm for what we do. Our clients are more than just business partners; they're our collaborators, our inspiration, and our motivation.


Our story began with a vision – a vision to create innovative solutions that enhance the world. We rely on creativity, technology, and sustainability to address challenges and create new opportunities. Our passion drives us to shape the future and bring about positive change in the world. Since then, we've grown, adapted, and embraced change, but our core values remain steadfast. Integrity, innovation, and client-centricity are at the heart of everything we do.


We invite you to join us on this journey of excellence, growth, and shared success. Together, we'll create a brighter future and achieve remarkable results. Thank you for considering ad fontes as your trusted partner.
