Allfunds has named Patrick Mattar as global head of ETP distribution ahead of the launch of its ETP platform in 2025.
In the new role, Mattar (pictured) will oversee the development and rollout of the ETP platform, guiding the strategy for this segment and ensuring it integrates with Allfunds' current range of services.
Before joining Allfunds, Mattar was global head of ETFs at Aberdeen Standard Investments - now Abrdn - and previously served as managing director at BlackRock.
During his nearly ten-year tenure at BlackRock, he played a key role in driving the growth of ETFs through the development of new products and investor applications.
Commenting on the new role, Patrick Mattar said: “The opportunity to develop a comprehensive ETP platform is incredibly exciting, and I look forward to working with the talented team at Allfunds to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.”
Juan de Palacios, chief strategy and product officer at Allfunds, added: "We are delighted to welcome Patrick to Allfunds. His expertise and leadership in the ETP and ETF sectors will be instrumental in the next phase of our growth, and we are confident that with his direction, our new platform will deliver significant value both to the ETP ecosystem and our clients."
Allfunds announced the launch of an exchange-traded product (ETP) platform in August, with hopes to “revolutionise” the distribution of ETPs in Europe.
The group stated the platform aims to streamline access to a wide range of ETPs, enhance liquidity, and optimise distribution strategies for both new and existing asset managers.
