HANetf Adds to Italian Firepower
London, 10th June,
2018 - HANetf is delighted to announce the appointment of Edoardo Passaretti as Director, Italian
ETF Sales, further enhancing the expertise and capabilities of Europe’s first
independent white label ETF platform.
Reporting to Hector McNeil, co-CEO of HANetf, Edoardo will
oversee the distribution of funds on the HANetf platform to institutions, asset
managers, wealth managers, banks, advisors and intermediary platforms
throughout Italy as part of HANetf’s unique, comprehensive distribution and
marketing offering.
Edoardo brings a strong track record in ETF sales, joining
HANetf from ETF Securities where he spearheaded Italian sales across their
range of commodity, currency, strategic beta, thematic, short and leveraged
products. He is experienced in growing assets under management in new and
innovative ETFs and will also have responsibility for engaging with Italian
asset managers who want to issue ETFs via the HANetf platform.
Hector McNeil, co-Founder and co-CEO of HANetf said “The HANetf proposition has resonated powerfully with asset managers
due to our unique coupling of a comprehensive white-label UCITS platform with
experienced distribution and marketing support. Edoardo brings excellent
Italian market knowledge and strong relationships with local ETF buyers which
will be of significant value to clients on the HANetf platform.
“Italy is a vital market for
HANetf and our clients. It’s one of the most open ETF markets in Europe and has
made significant strides both at the institutional and retail ends of the
market. Edoardo brings an extensive network of Italian investors which we will
leverage strongly following our first ETF listing on Borsa Italiana.”
HANetf is continuing to recruit experienced ETF sales,
distribution and marketing professionals in readiness for the launch of the
first on-platform funds later in 2018.
