By GlobalDataAt Credit Suisse, Jesch served as the global head of Investment Management within the International Wealth Management arm.
“In times of extremely low interest rates and simultaneously high levels of volatility Multi Asset is the differentiating investment strategy for one of the biggest fiduciary asset managers in the market,” Jesch stated.
Hille has been working at DWS for 13 years. He will quit the firm owing to personal reasons.
Referring to Jesch, Kreuzkamp noted: “He enjoys an excellent reputation across the asset management industry and the market as a top notch investor and thought-leader.
“Multi Asset & Solutions is a crucial part of our business, now more than ever. In a volatile market it can truly differentiate itself for investors.”
Multi Asset & Solutions reported net inflows of €7.2bn and was a major growth driver for the firm last year.
