Pitsilis will work closely with Watson and Dominik Burckgard, Head of the

firm's Hong Kong office, to deepen the firm's capabilities in offering

blue-chip regional and global investment solutions for its world-wide client

base.

"We are thrilled to welcome Emmanuel to Partners Capital at a time when the

client demand for investment services and solutions across Asia has never been

greater," said Raghavan, who founded and ran the firm's Asia business in 2011

until becoming CEO in July 2020. "Emmanuel's extensive network of senior

relationships with investors, asset managers and financial institutions in

Asia-Pacific (APAC) accentuates our ability to holistically serve our global

clients."

Pitsilis brings over 25 years of experience in APAC as an investor and leader

in the financial services industry. Prior to joining Partners Capital, he was

an entrepreneur and early-stage venture investor focused on Asia B2B SaaS and

FinTech sectors. Over the last seven years, he co-founded two tech businesses

and built a successful venture portfolio. In addition, he spent over 20 years

at McKinsey & Company, mostly in Hong Kong, where he was a Senior Partner in

the financial services practice focused on building the Asian practice. At

McKinsey, his clients included global investment banks, regional financial

institutions and senior policy makers such as governments, central banks or

securities regulators.

"I am excited to join Partners Capital at a time when Asia is at the forefront

of global investment opportunities and investment innovation," said Pitsilis.

"After meeting Arjun, Adam and Dominik, it was clear to me that the firm has

unmatched potential given its deep intellectual capital and global investment

talent. The firm's rigorous approach to every facet of investing including

research, highly sophisticated risk management and portfolio construction

combined with access to top-tier managers and compelling investment ideas, and

an ability to integrate sustainability is truly distinctive. We are well

positioned to help both Asian investors -- institutions and a growing number of

family offices -- in navigating global markets and to help global investors in

understanding and investing in Asia."

Pitsilis holds a Masters from Ecole Polytechnique majoring in Pure Mathematics

and Quantum Physics, a Masters in Engineering from École des Mines de Paris and

an MBA from INSEAD.
