In London, DeAWM currently manages assets worth 55 billion in the London office out of its global 930 billion.
Faissola said: "London’s crucial for our growth aspirations. There’s an almost unique concentration of financial industry talent in the city, especially to meet the needs of sophisticated ultra high net worth clients."
Faissola added that he is also planning to developing alternative investment strategies and advisory work to the super-rich, the two areas that are expected to achieve bottom-line growth of 25% a year.
Among the alternative investment strategies, Faissola will particularly focus on real estate for wealthy investors and institutions.
