Julius Baer banker and senior adviser John Cappetta is leaving the Swiss wealth manager, according to an internal memorandum seen by finews.com. A spokesperson for the bank declined to comment.

Cappetta is a heavyweight with 28 years of experience in finance, mainly in product sales and marketing. He spent six years with Julius Baer following the acquisition of Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s international wealth arm in 2012, where he was last its head of mutual fund sales for Asia.

Since his move to Singapore in 2007, Cappetta has garnered a reputation not only for effective fund selection and distribution but also for promoting lesser-known asset managers, many of whom subsequently developed into established industry names, rather than merely capitalizing on Asia’s ultra brand-conscious tendencies.
