Union Bancaire Privée consolidates its fund of hedge fund expertise

Geneva (ots)

Today, Union Bancaire Privée announced that it has
appointed Larry Morgenthal as CEO of UBP Asset Management, the 
Group's US business. He also assumes the role of Chief Investment 
Officer of Alternatives.
Mr Morgenthal will spearhead the renewed activity in the company's
fund of hedge funds platform, following the reinforcement of its 
investment and risk management teams since 2009. UBP has been 
investing in hedge funds since 1972 and offers a full range of 
capabilities, from tailored recommendations to commingled funds.
'The case for hedge funds and their alpha-generation potential is 
undisputed,' said Richard Wohanka, CEO of Asset Management and 
Alternative Investments at UBP. 'It is time to look at hedge funds in
a new way: as core portfolio holdings, rather than as a small part of
an alternatives segment. UBP has the right infrastructure to offer 
clients funds of hedge funds that can enhance the opportunity set for
balanced portfolios, and for traditional equity and fixed income 
investments. Larry has a long track record of building alternative 
businesses through an understanding of client priorities and I am 
delighted that he will be leading the Alternatives division at UBP.'
Mr Morgenthal has 18 years of direct involvement in alternative 
investing and business development, having started his career 
managing the assets for two large US pension funds, NCR Corporation 
and Asea Brown Boveri (ABB). He has held senior positions in Bank of 
America's Alternative Investment Group, where he headed the overall 
business and chaired the investment committee, as well as at Opus 
Capital Group, where he was managing partner, and Ivy Asset 
Management (BNY Mellon), where he held the roles of COO and later 
CEO.
