PHILADELPHIA, PA & LOS ANGELES, CA & NEW YORK, NY — Lovell Minnick Partners (LMP) announced the appointment of Philip Vasan to its advisory council, bringing nearly three decades of experience across investment strategies, financial technology, asset management, and private banking.
Vasan most recently spent nine years at BlackRock, where he served as managing director and held multiple leadership roles, including head of BlackRock Hedge Funds, global co-head of fundamental equities, and deputy head of the portfolio management group. He also sat on the firm’s global operating committee and GEC investment sub-committee.
Before joining BlackRock in 2016, Vasan held several global leadership roles at Credit Suisse, including CEO of private banking in the Americas, head of equity derivatives, and head of prime services, where he helped launch the first widely adopted multi-prime broker platform for hedge funds. Earlier in his career, he co-launched FXall, an online foreign exchange trading platform later acquired by Thomson Reuters.
“Phil has an unparalleled legacy and track record in the investment community, and we’re pleased to welcome him into LMP’s network in an official capacity,” said Steve Pierson, managing partner at Lovell Minnick Partners. “Having worked closely with Phil for a number of years at Credit Suisse, I am confident he will be a valuable asset to our advisory council, bringing strategic insights to our portfolio companies and meaningful contributions to the overall firm.”
