We look forward to what he and the global private wealth team can accomplish over the coming years."       

Johann Santer, Head of APAC Private Wealth at Blue Owl said: "For alternative asset management firms, there is a sizable opportunity within APAC private wealth, but one that requires a thoughtful approach to covering the region’s sophisticated investors.
