Greg Clerkson has joined the asset management division of the Edmond de Rothschild Group as head of global consultant relations.

Clerkson is based in London and works under Charles Goodman, head of Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management (UK) and Florence Dard, head of European institutional sales and sovereign funds.

He will focus on developing the group's relations with global consultants to maintain closer ties with the teams of analysts that are part of these London-based firms. He will also be responsible for overseeing relations with consultants throughout the United Kingdom.

The Edmond de Rothschild Group has recently won several major requests for proposal in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and France and this appointment will enable it to enhance its reach among European institutional investors and expand within new client segments such as sovereign funds and new markets, particularly in Asia.
