Ariane Dehn, Country Head for BNP Paribas AM in Switzerland comments:
“Kay’s appointment is another step in the continued strengthening of our position in Switzerland, where investors’ global leadership in sustainability is fully aligned with BNPP AM’s core values. We are seeing growing demand for ESG-focused ETF strategies and are continuing to expand our offering, and Kay’s experience will be key as we bring a broader range of sustainable and thematic ETFs and index funds to our regional client base.”
Claus Hecher, Regional ETF Head of Sales for the DACH Region and Scandinavia, comments:
“Growing client demand for ESG ETFs has led to strong growth for BNPP AM’s index solutions business in several European countries, as well as the creation of BNP Paribas Easy ICAV and subsequent launch of our first Irish ETF. We have considerably strengthened our sales presence and visibility in recent years and will continue to do so to support this growth and allow us to expand our index solutions range further. Kay’s appointment will be instrumental to our expansion in Switzerland, where we are looking to repeat the success that we have enjoyed elsewhere.”
