Susanne Sorge will be joining RWC Partners at the end of October.
Sorge joins from GLG Partners where she was responsible for business development in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
RWC Partners has developed a presence in the region over the last four years.
Sorge, who has been with GLG Partners for four years, has experience in the development of both absolute return and Ucits III funds. At RWC Partners, Sorge will report to head of business development Dan Mannix.
Sorge’s appointment follows the recent announcement that Peter Allwright and Stuart Frost will join from Threadneedle in October to launch macro absolute return funds investing in the rates and currency markets.
Mannix says: “We have seen significant inflows from investors based in Germany and Zurich for our Ucits III funds. Investors are increasing their demands on fund managers and we strongly believe in supporting their needs. We are delighted that Susanne is joining to ensure our commitment in the region is maintained as our business evolves."
