Lutz Kalthoff, head of European cash equity trading, Allianz Global Investors
In the German state of Hesse, near Frankfurt am Main, is a small
mountain about 900 metres high. Named Großer Feldberg, it
is popular with walkers and cyclists – including Lutz Kalthoff,
head of European cash equity trading at Allianz Global
Investors.
Kalthoff is an avid enthusiast of mountain biking, and regularly
leads groups of intrepid cyclists on the mountain trails. In the
region of Großer Feldberg, there are 11-12 people from Allianz
36
Global Investors that cycle the mountains. The wildlife found in
these mountains include foxes, rabbits, wild boar and deer.
“I like most the challenge to ride the difficult parts without
falling, showing my skills to others and helping them to do
it, it’s just in the mind,” he said. “One of the things I enjoy is
helping the other riders. For example, if there is a jump, and
one of the riders is not feeling it today, maybe next time, it’s OK.
If one day he does it, I’m really happy.”
