UBS Fund Services has announced it is re-establishing a business development presence in the UK and aims to position Fund Services Dublin as a multi-product and multi-jurisdiction hub. To lead this effort, Gavin Byrnes has been hired to focus on sales activity in the area of alternative asset administration as well as Irish domiciled investment vehicles as part of UBS's Global Asset Management business group based in London.
This announcement follows UBS's launch of new Fund Services offices in the Asia-Pacific region.
Byrnes will co-operate closely with UBS's business development and client relationship management locations in Dublin, Luxembourg, Americas, Switzerland and Hong Kong and also help to promote UBS's global integrated offering by leveraging cross-selling opportunities in prime brokerage and asset Servicing.
Byrnes previously headed sales and product development at SEB Fund Services in Luxembourg, a role he held since 2007.
