Frankfurt, 12 August 2025
The European capital markets are witnessing a rare moment of cross-border coordination. Fintech platform flatexCore has announced that its Chief Investment Science Officer, Professor Max Becker, has established strategic collaboration with eight leading global asset management institutions BlackRock, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, JP Morgan Asset Management, Morgan Stanley, Vanguard, Fidelity Investments, Allianz Global Investors, and Amundi to execute a synchronised strategy in a select group of high-potential assets.
This marks one of the few instances in recent years where European and North American capital markets have built positions in such close alignment. Historical market data indicate that when institutional capital of this scale converges into similar assets within a short timeframe, it often generates a significant price-driving effect, creating opportunities for excess returns over a cycle of several weeks to months.
“In the global capital landscape, the time gap between information and execution determines the success of an investment”
said Professor Max Becker. “Through this collaboration, we have not only aligned our timing with the world’s most influential asset management institutions, but also ensured that European investors can build positions at the same time and within the same price range as these institutions.”
From Wall Street to Europe: Synchronising with Global Institutions
With 22 years of Wall Street and UBS institutional trading experience, Professor Max Becker has long specialised in integrating global event-driven strategies, real-time capital flow tracking, and technical breakout structures into a quantifiable, high-probability trading model. This collaboration with the eight asset management giants enables the model to operate at greater scale and with higher execution precision, further strengthening the competitiveness of European investors in global markets.
Technology Meets Strategy
Leveraging the banking-grade financial infrastructure of its parent company, flatexDEGIRO Bank AG, flatexCore has provided Core Accounts equipped with millisecond-level matching systems and cross-time-zone trade coordination capabilities, ensuring execution speeds on par with global institutions.
This technological edge allows European market participants, for the first time, to overcome the traditional timing and pricing disadvantages of retail investors and directly engage in global capital’s synchronised positioning.
Significance for the European Market
The concentrated collaboration of multiple top-tier asset managers is both a recognition of the value of Europe’s core assets and a signal of a strategic shift in global capital allocation.
Industry analysts believe this move will:
– Increase Europe’s attractiveness to global capital
– Accelerate structural trends in high-quality sectors (technology, capital expenditure, and defensive industries)
– Drive greater concentration and efficiency in cross-border capital flows into European markets
Professor Max Becker emphasised:
“This is a deep integration of capital and technology, strategy and execution. Through this collaborative model, we aim to make Europe’s role in the global capital network more proactive and more significant.”
Looking Ahead
flatexCore stated that this cooperation is only the first step in its strategic expansion. The company plans to deepen its partnerships with international institutions, achieving full integration in product design, strategy development, and cross-market execution enabling European investors to attain competitive parity with institutions in the global marketplace.
