Hedge Fund Association has made three recent appointments to both its advisory board, and regional leadership divisions.
Global wealth consultant Hannah Shaw Grove has been hired to its high net-worth advisory board.
She is a founder and executive editor of Private Wealth, and the author of 10 books on topics including family offices, hedge funds and wealth management.
"Hedge funds are already an important vehicle for wealthy investors—with continued market volatility and changing regulations, there's an opportunity for them to gain greater acceptance and capture more assets from the ultra-affluent," said Shaw Grove.
The Hedge Fund Association also announced new regional leadership appointments. Victor Hugo Rodriguez, the first director of the HFA's LatAm chapter, is passing the reins to Juan Garrido and Les Baquiran.
Juan Garrido is global head of investment solutions at BBVA Global Private Bank in New York. Garrido oversees BBVA Wealth Management's global investment strategy and asset allocation.
Les Baquiran was a New York-based principal at Park Hill, an alternative investment placement agent that is part of the Blackstone Group. Prior to joining Park Hill, he was a managing director at ISI in institutional sales and before that worked at Brown Brothers Harriman as an equity research analyst.
“Victor is clearly a hard act to follow but Les and I both look forward to facing the challenge of further developing the HFA's activities in the Latin America region,” said Garrido.
Victor Hugo Rodriguez became the director of the HFA's LatAm chapter when it was launched in March 2011. The founder, president and CEO of LatAm Alternatives, he was also partner and head of Latin American prime brokerage for Merlin Securities and director of global institutional sales at TradeStation Securities.
