Barclays Wealth has appointed Andreas Kuhnle as Associate Director of Alternative Investments Product Development, effective June 2008. Based in Singapore, Kuhnle will report to Barbara-Ann King, Barclays Wealth Global Head of Alternative Product Development, and locally to Werner Schlossmacher, Head of Private Bank Coverage for Barclays Capital in Asia.
Trends indicate continued opportunities for wealth management firms to tap into growth markets around the world, including Asia. According to Barclays Wealth Insights Volume 5 'Evolving Fortunes', China and India are forecasted to be among the world’s top ten wealthiest countries by 2017 while the density of households with net wealth in excess of US$1 million is expected to reach 40.7 per cent in Singapore and 39.4 per cent in Hong Kong.
“We are delighted to welcome Andreas Kuhnle to the Barclays family. The development and growth of alternative investments and mutual funds is critically important to the expansion of our business across Asia. As an investment specialist, Andreas brings a depth of experience to our team and I am confident he will make a significant contribution to the development of our products and solutions in the alternatives space,” said Didier von Daeniken, Asia Pacific Chief Executive of Barclays Wealth.
Kuhnle will focus on driving strategy and end to end product delivery in the alternatives space across hedge funds, private equity and real estate. Kuhnle was previously employed at Deutsche Bank for 12 years, and was most recently driving alternative investment growth in both advisory sales and portfolio structuring.
Prior to joining Barclays, Kuhnle worked in the UK, Germany and Singapore and has extensive experience in wealth management as an investment specialist for hedge fund investments, as well as asset allocation, portfolio construction and risk management.
