Stewart will be working with Dicken Watson, who was recently appointed as the firm’s COO for EMEA.
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.
