EQT Partners has announced a new leader for its fast-growing private wealth management business in the Americas.
The Swedish investment firm has around $224 billion in assets under management and the private wealth management team works with individual investors who want access to private markets though the same active ownership approach that the firm takes with its global institutional clients.
The new partner and head of the Americas is Peter Aliprantis who joins the firm from TPG Angelo Gordon. He will report to Peter Beske Nielsen, partner and global head of private wealth, and will be based in EQT's New York office.
"EQT has already built an impressive private wealth business globally and in the Americas,” Aliprantis said. “I could not be more excited about the growth opportunity ahead of us, particularly for a firm with such a strong track record of performance and active ownership. I look forward to helping EQT continue to expand its footprint in this space across the region."
At his previous firm, Aliprantis spent 12 years as head of intermediary distribution and before that he was with FrontPoint Partners, Roundtable Investment Partners, Credit Suisse, and Morgan Stanley.
"With more than 25 years of private wealth experience, working across private banks, wirehouses, family offices and digital platforms, Peter is the perfect fit to lead our growing private wealth team in the Americas. He takes an entrepreneurial approach to expanding new strategies and clearly exemplifies EQT's values," said Suzanne Donohoe, EQT's Chief Commercial Officer. "Now that the EQT Exeter Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (EQRT) has broken escrow, and with other products under development, we continue to be excited about the opportunities to expand our private wealth focus in the region.”
Previous head of the Americas, Marah Marshall, will move to a newly created global role focused on EQT's strategic partnerships in the private wealth space.
