Former DWS executive turns fundraiser for investment boutiques

Launch of Briarwood Partners comes at a time when an increasing number of people are leaving larger, established firms to set up their own businesses

Two industry veterans have teamed up to launch a new placement firm, to raise capital for investment boutiques across public and private markets.

Briarwood Partners was set up by Guillaume Mathais, previously Europe, the Middle East and Africa head of hedge funds at German fund manager DWS, and Ryan Durance, formerly head of business development at multi-boutique asset manager BennBridge.
