Macquarie Asset Management has announced the appointment of Henry Middleton as Managing Director and Head of Wealth Distribution for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
This newly created role reflects the growing interest among wealth management clients in Macquarie Asset Management’s range of actively managed investment strategies, including equities, credit, multi-asset, infrastructure, green investments, real estate, agriculture, and natural assets.
Based in London, Henry Middleton will collaborate closely with Macquarie Asset Management’s global network of wealth management partners to meet the evolving expectations of this rapidly expanding client segment. Henry brings with him 12 years of experience from Barings, where he most recently led the firm’s US institutional and global wealth distribution efforts. Prior to that, he held senior positions in wealth management and client relationships at international asset management and consulting firms, including BlackRock and Accenture in the US and UK.
Adam Lygoe, Macquarie Asset Management’s Head of Institutional and International Wealth Distribution, emphasized the significance of the wealth management market in the firm’s future growth. Clients in this sector increasingly recognize the importance of alternative assets for portfolio diversification, and Macquarie Asset Management is well-positioned to meet this demand.
The company has already established strong relationships with wealth management franchises in Australia and the US and expects that global wealth channels will allocate a growing amount of capital to its Private Markets platforms in the coming years.
