J.P. Morgan Private Bank today announced a new fleet of recently hired advisors that will help expand the firm’s reach to ultra-high net worth clients in markets of growing importance to the firm.

David Agie de Selsaeten joins the firm as Managing Director and senior Banker and will lead on new client acquisitions, while providing wealth management advice and solutions that address the sophisticated financial needs of clients in Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg (BeNeLux). Prior to J.P. Morgan, Agie was Market Head of Single Family Office for HSBC in Switzerland.

Achim Unger joins the firm as Executive Director and Investment Advisor from Deutsche Bank and will help drive investments strategy and portfolio positioning with an eye toward long-term wealth management planning for clients also in BeNeLux.

Akif Söderström joins the firm from Danske Bank International as Vice President and Investments Advisor who will work with the firm’s global investments team providing bespoke advice to clients in the Nordics.

Agie, Unger and Söderström will be based in Luxembourg and will report to Managing Director and Market Manager Riccardo Pironti, a 17-year J.P. Morgan Private Bank executive.

“I am thrilled to welcome these wise advisors to the J.P. Morgan team,” Pironti said. “Their combined wealth management expertise brings decades of experience, while their character and team-first approach embodies the characteristics needed to successfully grow our business and best serve clients whose generational wealth planning requires individualized, goals-based planning.”
