Watson will be based in London and will report to Stewart. He will spearhead operational and compliance-related activities across EMEA. Watson joins from Affiliated Managers Group, where he served as the director of compliance and senior counsel.
OppenheimerFunds chairman and CEO Art Steinmetz said: “Building out our office in London, a global financial center, is a critical component of our international strategy. Having a local presence enhances our capabilities to reach our growing EMEA client base and provides access to our flagship strategies.”
OppenheimerFunds reported over $243bn in assets under management at the end of September 2017. Last year, the firm rolled out OppenheimerFunds ICAV, an Ireland-based UCITS platform and its sub-funds.
