Stefan Riße

Stefan Riße is a capital market strategist and describes himself as a stockbroker with heart and soul.

He has been intensively involved with the international financial markets since the age of 16. After graduating from high school and internships at banks and asset managers, he worked as a broker for two years before switching to journalism. He wrote for magazines such as Wirtschaftswoche, Euro, Forbes, Focus Money and Focus and is a columnist for the investor magazine Börse Online with his mood barometer.
At the age of 17, he met the stock market veteran André Kostolany, who died in September 1999, and remained a close friend until Kostolany's death. He organized Kostolany's lectures and television appearances and assisted with three books. The last one, "The Art of Thinking About Money," was at the top of the bestseller lists for months.
However, Riße became best known for his work as a stock market correspondent for the news channel "n-tv," where his reports were broadcast live from the Frankfurt trading floor from 2001 to 2005.
From 2006 to 2011 he was Chief Market Strategist of the German branch of CMC Markets, the first CFD market maker in Germany, and in parallel Chairman of the Board of the Contracts for Difference Association.

In 2011, he joined HPM Hanseatische Portfoliomanagement GmbH in Hamburg and subsequently worked as a consultant and independent financial market expert and speaker from 2015 to 2017.
Since May 2018, he has been a capital market strategist at ACATIS Investment KVG, the third largest independent asset manager in Germany.
He is still a sought-after interview guest on "n-tv" and Welt / N24, where he appears regularly.
In 2003, Econ-Verlag published "Manager außer Kontrolle - wie Gier und Größenwahn unsere Wirtschaft ruinieren," Riße's first book, which is now out of print. It dealt with the numerous management blunders and accounting scandals that followed the bursting of the Internet bubble.
2021 saw the publication of his latest book, "Die Inflation kommt! How to Protect Yourself Already," when inflation in Germany was still at 2.1 percent.
Risse's great hobby is bicycle racing. He was Bremen's national champion seven times. His greatest success: in 2002 he was also North German runner-up.
