- John brings over a decade of experience managing Australian
private client relationships across family offices, private banks
and ultra-high-net-worth advisory groups
NEW
YORK, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue
Owl Capital Inc. ("Blue Owl") (NYSE: OWL), a leading alternative
asset manager, announced today the hiring of John Valtwies to lead
the firm's private wealth business in Australia.
John previously served as a senior leader of the Global Wealth
Management team at global fund manager PIMCO. During his tenure, he
managed the firm's private client relationships, focusing on
private banks and ultra-high-net-worth advisory groups. John also
led the family office business, successfully developing strong
relationships with the market's unique, and sophisticated
investors. He also developed growth strategies to expand the firm's
semi-liquid alternative solutions for private clients and advisers.
Prior to PIMCO, John was a senior research analyst at
Morningstar.
Sean Connor, President & CEO
of Global Private Wealth at Blue Owl said: "John's appointment
reinforces our commitment to organically scaling our global private
wealth business with a focus on hiring market-leading talent.
John's extensive experience and deep relationships within
Australian private wealth will serve as a solid foundation for
further expanding Blue Owl's presence in the market's wealth
channel. We are excited to welcome John and look forward to seeing
what he can accomplish over the long-term."
John Valtwies said: "Australian investors are incredibly
sophisticated, and increasingly selective when it comes to
allocating to alternative asset managers. Blue Owl's market leading
solutions across Credit, GP Stakes and Real Estate, coupled with
the firm's historic focus on the private wealth channel ensure it
is well-positioned to meet the growing needs of Australian
investors. I look forward to working with Sean and Blue Owl's
Global Private Wealth team to further scale our presence in a
critical market."
John's appointment marks Blue Owl's second senior hire in
Australia. In July of 2024, Blue
Owl hired former Australia Future Fund's Deputy Chief Investment
Officer Alicia Gregory as part of
the firm's Institutional team.
