Lyxor Asset Management has appointed Tim Soetens as director of business development for the Netherlands.
Soetens will be based in Amsterdam and will report to Amber Kizilbash, the head of business development for Northern Europe and the Middle East at Lyxor.
He joins from Schroders, where he was sales director of business development for the Benelux wholesale market.
Before joining Schroders, Soetens worked at Philips Pension Fund as a credit analyst and later as vice president, business development, at BlackRock for the Dutch wholesale market.
At Lyxor, he has been tasked with strengthening and developing relationships with the firm’s hedge funds, funds of hedge funds and quantitative clients.
In a statement, Lyxor said that Soetens’s appointment reflects the firm’s recent breakthrough in the Dutch market, after winning large mandates in the Dutch pension fund and wholesale distribution sectors.
