“Over the past five years we have witnessed a 50% increase of our AUM, reaching over $150bn in assets under management last year — a milestone demonstrating our increasing scale and depth,” said Sergio Ramirez, chief revenue office and head of the global client group.
“As we set our sights on the next phase of growth, we acknowledge the important role of the intermediary channel, especially private banks, in driving our continued expansion.”
“I am confident that, under Nicolas’ leadership, we will further extend the reach of our high-quality solutions and provide exceptional value to both new and existing clients in this crucial segment across both the Apac and Emea regions.”
