Studios and Departments
Ricardo Vollbrechthausen Studios is organized as a collection of Studios and Departments. Studios are our main revenue generating centers, each focused on an individual business line, such as Equity trading or Education Services. In contrast, our Departments are inward facing expense generating centers which provide administrative and operational functions for RVS – such as our Human resources or Accounting teams. Finally, our retail outlets and website serve as our point of sale for goods and services directly to the general public.

How to pronounce “Vollbrechthausen”
“Vollbrechthausen” can be difficult to say if you aren’t familiar with German pronunciation . Here are some quick tips that might help you:
Vollbrechthausen is made up of two elements: “Vollbrecht” and “-hausen”. Combined, the two elements can be loosely translated as “Vollbrecht’s Manor” or “Vollbrecht’s Estate”.
1) Vollbrecht is an old German first name, similar to Albrecht, Ruprecht, or Adalbrecht. There are three main issues for english speakers here – the V, the R, and the CH. The “V” is pronounced like an “F” (ie. Follbrecht ). The “R” is rolled in the back of the throat like a French R, and not rolled like a Spanish R. The “Ch” is soft, as in the classical composer’s name “Bach” (it is not a hard “ch” sound like in ache or chart, or a “sh” sound like in “chef”)
2) “-hausen” is a place name ending, similar to the “-shire” or “-ham” in Nottingham or New Hampshire. It is simply pronounced like the English word “house”, with an extra n at the end.
