Top-Level Appointment At Rothschild Asset Management

There has been change at the helm of Rothschild Asset Management.

Rothschild Asset Management, the US asset management business of the Rothschild Group, has appointed Michael Woods as chief executive.

Woods is the former head of the Americas/global client group at Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management and CEO of DWS Investments.

Family Wealth Report understands that Woods replaces T Radey Johnson  – a role he held since 2000. Rothschild declined to confirm.

Meanwhile, Daniel Oshinskie will continue as chief investment officer and will report to Woods. Michael Tamasco, current co-head of the US business and global co-head of distribution has “decided to seek a new challenge,” the firm said.

Headquartered in New York, Rothschild Asset Management provides investment management and advisory services to institutional clients, financial intermediaries and private clients globally.
