Munsters will however continue to contribute to the group by joining EdRAM’s board.
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.”

This is what our clients expect from a leading investment house.”
