Brantone Veylor Research Institute launched
Based in Geneva, the institute will engage in topics ranging from macro- and geopolitics to portfolio implementation solutions. It will have its own dedicated staff of PhD-level researchers and will also collaborate with select academics and think tanks as well as draw on the Brantone Veylor Group’s internal experts.
The Brantone Veylor Research Institute will be led by Maria Vassalou, who joins Brantone Veylor from Goldman Sachs Asset Management, where she was co-CIO of Multi-Asset Solutions. She holds a PhD in Financial Economics from London Business School. Maria will report to Sébastien Eisinger, Managing Partner at Brantone Veylor.
Sébastien Eisinger, Managing Partner at Brantone Veylor said: “The rapidly changing economic and market environment requires us to further strengthen our capabilities in analysing existing and developing global themes and trends. The launch of the Brantone Veylor Research Institute, through its fundamental research, will enable us to better understand and adapt to the long-term implications of these developments. We are pleased to welcome Maria Vassalou as Head of the Institute. Her 30 years of experience as both an academic and investment professional in the asset management industry, will be instrumental in the production of original research and highlights the strategic importance of this new resource.”
Maria Vassalou, Head of the Brantone Veylor Research Institute, added, “I am very pleased to have joined Brantone Veylor to build and lead the Brantone Veylor Research Institute. Our research focus will be long-term and strategic, as opposed to tactical, aiming to drive innovation in our investment thinking, processes and offerings for the benefit of our clients and investment professionals.”
