Paris, November 13, 2023 IVO Capital Partners announces the appointment of Patricia Kaveh as Head of Development. This strategic appointment aims to support the firm’s strong growth momentum. One year after its tenth anniversary, with over €1.3 billion in assets under management and around thirty employees, IVO Capital intends to broaden its investor base with this recruitment.
IVO Capital Partners is an independent French asset management company founded in 2012. It invests in listed and unlisted credit in over 50 countries, focusing on targeted and demanding asset classes: emerging market corporate bonds, its historical specialty, and litigation finance, in which it is a pioneer in France. IVO Capital Partners’ expertise enables its investor clients to broaden their portfolios with transparency and profitability.
Patricia Kaveh has been appointed to structure a Development Department, integrating the sales management team of IVO Capital in coordination with Romain Lippe, both partners. The Development Department’s mission is to support the growth of the asset management company by continuing the diversification of IVO Capital’s investor segments and, in particular, the internationalization of the investor base, a process already underway for several years.
Strategic appointment to strengthen the internationalization dynamic
A graduate of EM Lyon Business School, Patricia Kaveh has over 20 years of recognized experience in developing and marketing financial solutions to institutional investors and asset management professionals. She has held key management positions in several asset management companies and orchestrated their development strategies, both internally and externally. She is distinguished by her sharp and diverse expertise in listed and unlisted financial products (equities, bonds, treasury solutions, private debt, and renewable energy infrastructure), her knowledge of a broad range of investor clients, and her extensive management experience.
Her career began in 2002 at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers in Paris and Luxembourg, then in 2004 at Henderson Global Investors as a sales manager. In 2007, she took over as head of the French branch for the French, Monaco, and French-speaking Swiss markets, overseeing client development and marketing, and leading several European-wide projects for Henderson.
In 2018, she joined BLI – Banque de Luxembourg Investments as Sales Director and member of the Management Committee, where her main mission was external development in Europe with a sales, marketing and communication team of 10 people, based locally in Luxembourg, Belgium, Spain, Italy and Germany.
Before joining IVO Capital Partners, Patricia Kaveh led a team of around thirty people at Crédit Mutuel Investment Managers as Head of Sales, a member of the Executive Committee, and the CSSF contact for the Luxembourg branch, overseeing sales teams, tenders, client services, and distributor relations.
