UBP - Union Bancaire Privée

Union Bancaire Privée builds out its equity capabilities

Geneva (ots)

Union Bancaire Privée (UBP) announced today that it
has hired Rob Jones as Head of its new European Equities team, which 
will be based in London. He will take up the position on 1 November.
Prior to joining UBP, Rob Jones managed pan-European equity funds 
at Threadneedle, where he built an impressive track record and was 
part of a team managing funds that received awards from Lipper and 
Morningstar earlier this year. A graduate in Business Studies from 
the University of Brighton, he spent a total of 14 years at 
Threadneedle managing UK and then pan-European equity portfolios. He 
started out his career by spending four years as a UK equity analyst.
"We are delighted that Rob is joining us" said Richard Wohanka, 
CEO of Asset Management at UBP. "An allocation to European equities 
forms the core of many of our clients' portfolios, and the 
recruitment of a top-quality, in-house team to manage this asset 
class has long been part of our growth plans. Rob's high-conviction, 
bottom-up approach to equity investing fits in well with UBP Asset 
Management's ethos and I am confident that he can replicate his past 
successes elsewhere at UBP."
"I am very pleased to join UBP" added Rob Jones. "This is an 
extremely exciting time for the company as it builds out its 
investment capabilities and I am glad to be a part of this process. I
look forward to leading a new European equities team and developing a
range of top-quality investment solutions for our clients."
