Brodnik joins Jupiter from Merrill Lynch/Blackrock where he has held a number of senior roles, most recently as managing director of the company’s German retail business. He was also responsible for its eastern European business and a member of its European leadership committee.
In this newly created role, Brodnik will be tasked with building on Jupiter’s growth in the three countries which has so far been led by Max Guenzl. The five-strong team has helped the company’s Luxembourg Sicav range to grow to more than £2.1bn (€2.5bn) in the past five years through offices in Munich and Zurich.
Kevin Scott, executive director, international, at Jupiter, said: “Germany, Austria and Switzerland are key markets for us and having spent several years building our presence through professional fund buyers, the time is right to widen our distribution capabilities, including among retail investors in Germany. We are delighted to have attracted an individual of Andrej’s calibre to help the team achieve our goals in the region.”
