Prior to joining Presidio, Schade served as a private equity investor with Blum Capital Partners, Silver Lake Partners, and The Blackstone Group.

Cobb said: "Managing the firm day-to-day doesn’t afford me the time to devote to what I do best for Presidio. I want to focus my efforts on client relationships, new business opportunities, and special firm projects."

Bruce Brugler, managing director of the firm, said: "We are proud of our US$3.9 billion in assets, and believe the new initiatives of our firm will only strengthen our commitment to providing our clients independent, objective, and sophisticated investment advice."

Colin Carter, managing director at the firm, said: "The changes in management present an exciting platform for strategic development in the way we run our operation. Presidio is well-positioned to continue its growth and I look forward to working with Karl and the team as we continue to develop innovative and high-quality solutions for our clients."
