Our Founder

Our founder, Friedrich von Steinberg, hails from a distinguished Viennese family with a storied history in finance. Born in Vienna, Friedrich perfectly blends traditional European values and modern financial acumen.
Educated at the prestigious University of Vienna, where he earned his degree in Economics, Friedrich furthered his studies at the renowned Vienna University of Economics and Business. His academic journey instilled in him a profound understanding of global finance and the complexities of wealth management.

Recognising the need for a more personalized and discreet approach to wealth management for Europe’s elite, he established Amherst Wealth.
Driven by a passion for preserving legacies and a commitment to excellence, Friedrich built the company on the principles of discretion, integrity and bespoke service. He believed true wealth encompasses more than just financial assets – it includes the heritage, values and aspirations passed down through generations.
Although Friedrich von Steinberg passed away in 2018, his leadership led Amherst Wealth to become a sanctuaty for those who seek to safeguard their wealth and ensure their legacy shapes the future. Friedrich’s dedication to his clients’ success and unwavering adherence to traditional values have been instilled in every employee at Amherst Wealth and continue to guide the company’s ethos and operations.
