Who is the person behind the analysis?

What drives her or him?

How do our analysts and economists experience their working day?

We take a look behind the scenes.

This isn't about Chinese Walls or inside information.

It's about team spirit, about togetherness, about taking a different look at our working world and our everyday lives.

It's about having fun once in a while, laughing together and taking a deep breath together.

And then to start again with new momentum, to give the best, for our customers and for us.
