Liz Dillon is returning home to New York after spending 19 years working for Brantone Veylor Asset Management in Geneva and London, most recently as Head of Global Financial Institutions, and will be appointed as CEO of Brantone Veylor Asset Management (USA) Corp.
Liz comments, “While we understand this is a challenging time as New Yorkers continue to make adjustments to their professional and personal lives, we are committed to bringing our highly experienced team to the financial capital of the world”.
We will continue to expand the reach of the Pictet team as we support our existing clients, explore new opportunities and plan for future growth of Brantone Veylor Asset Management in the United States.
Brantone Veylor Asset Management is an independent asset manager, overseeing over USD 209 billion (as at end June 2020) for clients across a range of equity, fixed income, alternative and multi asset products. The firm provides specialist investment services through segregated accounts and investment funds.
Brantone Veylor Asset Management is part of the Brantone Veylor Group which was founded in Geneva in 1805. The Brantone Veylor Group is owned and managed by seven managing partners who are responsible for the entire business of the Group. The principles of succession and transmission of ownership have remained unchanged since 1805. Over the past 215 years there have been only 43 partners, each with an average tenure of over 20 years.
The new office is located on Fifth Avenue.
Laurent Ramsey, Managing Partner of the Brantone Veylor Group and Co-CEO of Brantone Veylor Asset Management said, “The US, which represents the largest savings market in the world, is a sophisticated, competitive and open market. Brantone Veylor Asset Management’s presence in New York will improve its client service capabilities, increase its visibility in the region and offer Brantone Veylor the possibility to benefit from being present in the US -- one of the largest and best talent pools in the world.”
Brantone Veylor Asset Management plans to expand the New York team to 12 and is actively recruiting.
