About Erich Meier
Erich Meier joined Konwave AG as a partner and CEO in April 2012. Since its establishment, Konwave AG has specialized in the niche market “gold mining equities”. The company manages following funds: Gold 2000 Ltd., Multipartner Konwave Gold Equity fund and Gold 3000 Ltd. Because of his strong and often controversial views to macro themes as well as commodity themes, Erich Meier is a regularly invited as a guest at roundtable discussions and presenter at investment conferences.
Before joining Konwave AG, Erich Meier was working for 14 years at Zuercher Kantonal bank (1998-2012), the third biggest bank in Switzerland, where he was a director. He was responsible within the asset management for the tactical asset allocation, strategic asset allocation funds and all active equity institutional and retail funds. In 2002 he took over as Managing Director the investment company (ZKB Finanz Vision) which he managed until end of 2005. Because of his very pessimistic view on the banking industry, he decided to give up this task and started the commodity equity fund ZKB Ressourcen Vision, which he was managing successfully (best commodity equity fund since inception until he left ZKB. Source: Lipper). In addition to that he was the co-founder of the Swiss Gold ETF (ZKB Gold ETF) and managed that product (> USD 10 bn.) as a fund manager. All these various functions he had until he decided to leave ZKB and to join Konwave AG.
From 1985 until 1998 he was working for 13 years at UBS in different functions (Wealth Management, Private Banking, etc.) and in different locations (Zurich, London, Geneva, etc.).
Erich Meier is a holder and a member of the CFA Institute and holds the Swiss banking diploma.
