Golden Equator Wealth has made two senior hires as part of the company's plan to expand its multi-family office business, including the addition of more capabilities in client-facing and investment roles.

 

The company has hired private banker Ritu Khera from BNP Paribas Wealth Management. As a wealth manager, Khera will focus on client relationships and acquisition. She brings two decades of industry experience, including stints at Barclays, ABN Amro, and ICICI Bank in India, the U.K., Hong Kong, and Singapore, where she built a strong reputation for supporting UHNW non-resident Indian clients.

Rainer Michael Preiss joins from the Global CIO Office in Singapore as portfolio strategist. He will work closely with the company's wealth managers on client portfolios and new prospects. Preiss brings close to 25 years of investment advisory experience across the Middle East and financial hubs in Asia, having held senior roles in an independent asset manager, as well as in investment strategy and advisory with international private banks.

«We continue to develop our client relationships across Asia, but we are also looking further afield. We have been engaging in conversations with families from Australia, the Middle East, and Europe who are looking to set up a personalised family office in Asia within our multi-family office community,» Gary Tiernan, Golden Equator managing partner said about the firm's growth.
