General Capital Group Beteiligungsberatung GmbH (GenCap) is an independent asset management firm headquartered in Munich, Germany. The firm was founded by Philipp A. Schoeller in 2005. GenCap provides first-class managers with its strategic expertise for expanding their business, untapping potential and further developing the companies’ intrinsic value.

Founded in 1924, GSW is as much a part of Berlin as the Kurfürstendamm and the Brandenburg Gate. In 2004, the former communal housing association was sold to an international financial consortium. With around 70,000 managed apartments, 50,000 of which are included in its own housing stock, GSW remains one of the cornerstones of the Berlin real estate sector. The name GSW stands for more than 85 years of experience and commercial stability, and equally for modern expertise and an excellent relationship with the international financial market. To tenants and buyers, GSW offers attractive apartments in carefully developed surroundings and on excellent terms. The special significance they attach to the concept of customer orientation is also reflected by the broad range of accompanying services on offer. The strategic approach to developing value using residential properties is based on the company's value-oriented portfolio and property management policies. By deploying financing instruments that have proven themselves internationally, innovative product developments and efficient investment strategies, GSW is able to transform frequently static assets into secure and flexible capital market products. This range of options allows it to cater to the retirement needs of tenants and small investors as well as to the returns expected by the markets. The objective is to develop GSW into the leading player in terms of opinion and quality on Berlin's residential property market. A long-standing commitment to the city of Berlin is one of the company's core values, as is the concept of lasting social responsibility. The GSW privatization code protecting tenant rights and the commitment to social, cultural and sporting projects that focus on children and young people are examples of long-term investments in the future of both GSW and Berlin.
