Simon Buck

Born in 1969 in Radolfzell on Lake Constance, I began my career with an apprenticeship as a bank clerk and financial assistant on the island of Reichenau. After studying politics, business administration and public law, I held various positions in strategic communications consultancy and the financial services sector. I became increasingly aware of the need for independent, scientifically based financial advice. Based on this conviction, I founded BuckAdvice Personal Finance in Berlin in 2013 and, as a certified fee-based advisor, have since been helping investors move away from short-term speculation and towards a long-term, disciplined investment strategy.

In addition to my advisory work, I am an active speaker, a member of the Lions Club Berlin, an enthusiastic rower and a family man. With my wife and four children, I enjoy the diversity of Berlin as well as sporting activities in the Brandenburg countryside.

Why I support Neunundvierzig

I have known Dr Nikolaus Braun and Stefan Heringer for many years and appreciate their clear, science-based approach to financial advice and their expertise in building their business. In an industry that is often characterized by short-term thinking and commission-driven incentives, we share the conviction that only evidence-based, predictive investment strategies can deliver sustainable success. I am therefore delighted that we will be connecting our expertise, processes and advisory approach even more closely by joining forces with Christian Rump from Neunundvierzig Honorarberatung from July 2025. Our aim is to provide rational and relevant investment advice to a wider audience. We will coordinate regularly with our colleagues at Neunundvierzig – whether through workshops, joint client meetings or events.
