Raphaela M.L. Schröder began her career at UBS before spending many years at Rothschild & Co. There, she developed the private market offering for private wealth clients, managing everything from structuring, legal setup, compliance, and fundraising to post-sale activities, including reporting. Afterward, she worked at Maerki Baumann, a Swiss private bank, as Senior Portfolio Manager Private Markets. In this role, Raphaela led the development of the bank’s private market strategy—from defining the strategy to investment selection (sourcing, due diligence, and allocation) and operational improvements—building a multi-strategy private market portfolio encompassing private equity, private debt, and private infrastructure. In 2025, she founded Aurea Partners AG, which provides tailored private market solutions for wealth intermediaries, supporting private banks, family offices and independent wealth managers in building and expanding their private market offerings.
