Universal-Investment reorganises management team
Universal-Investment, the €411bn asset manager, has appointed Michael Reinhard to serve as CEO, effective from May.
Reinhard joined the Germany-based asset manager in April 2018, as chief operating officer (COO) and managing director, before being promoted to CEO. The firm is currently searching for a new COO.
Reinhard replaces Bernd Vorbeck, who will now serve as supervisory board member, adviser and member of the investment board.
Incoming CEO Reinhard said that the firm is enhancing its investments in internationalisation, employees and technologies, in a bid to evolve into the largest fund service platform for all asset classes in Europe. The asset pooling platform also includes alternative asset classes such as private equity, real assets and commodities.
The asset manager has also appointed Katja Müller to the newly-created role of chief customer officer. She has been with the firm since 2014 and is currently serving as member of the management board and head of sales and relationship management.
