On 13 December 2016, Edmond de Rothschild Group announced that Vincent Taupin will assume global responsibility for Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management from 1 January 2017.

Following Roderick Munsters’ decision to resign from his role as Head of Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management, the wealth and investment manager, Edmond de Rothschild Group, has designated Vincent Taupin as the new head of asset management. This will take effect from the beginning of next year and will be in addition to Vincent Taupin’s existing role as head of French private banking.

Despite having resigned from the role due to personal reasons, Roderick Munsters will continue to contribute to the group by joining the board of Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management, France.

Commenting on his departure, Roderick Munsters said: “In a short but exciting period at Edmond de Rothschild, I have been able to review and prepare a new and integrated asset management strategy. I have reluctantly taken the decision to step down and to return to the Netherlands.”

Ariane de Rothschild, Chairwoman of the Group Executive Committee, commented on this choice: “I fully understand the reasons for Roderick’s decision to step down from his leadership role […] I have asked Vincent Taupin to assume responsibility for the asset management business alongside his existing French Private Banking role, as I believe that now is the right time to accelerate the convergence of our expertise, businesses and geographies.”

It was also announced today that Renzo Evangelista and Stéphane Pardini have been appointed Deputy Directors in the French Private Bank. Furthermore, Didier Deléage has been appointed CEO of Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management, France.
