Carlos Torres Vila opens the BBVA Global Wealth Advisors office in Miami
Last Friday, the Chair of BBVA formally opened the new Miami office of BBVA Global Wealth Advisors (GWA), BBVA’s U.S. registered investment advisory unit. Carlos Torres Vila met with the team at this new office, comprised of over 30 professionals.
BBVA GWA launched its Miami-based business in March to offer investment advisory services to high-net-worth Latin American customers. It provides investment advisory solutions to non-U.S. resident customers generally with a minimum of $500,000 in assets under management.
Carlos Torres Vila noted that: "We see the U.S. as the leading wealth management market in the world, and the most important offshore market for Latin America. As such, our team in Miami will be well-placed to meet the needs of high net worth clients from Latin America, where we have leading franchises. Moreover, this new business is a key component of our Global Wealth Management strategy."
Murat Kalkan, Head of BBVA Global Wealth Advisors, said: "We are honored to have our Chair formally open the office and share this exciting new project with the team. We are very aware of the strategic importance of the business and the responsibility that comes with it. Therefore, we have put together a strong team to give our customers the best possible service."
BBVA Global Wealth Advisors joins the series of international wealth management services that BBVA already offers in Switzerland and Spain.
