“Patrick knows our business and has been overseeing investments in the markets we utilize for decades,” said Bruce Bent II, president and vice-chairman of The Reserve Funds. “He will lead our portfolio management team to continued success and his experience, expertise and knowledge with enhanced cash offerings will further support Reserve as the cash management industry leader.
