S64, the leading provider of private markets access solutions for private wealth and trusted partner to the world’s leading asset managers has today announced the appointment of Rakesh Pabari as Head of Investment Advisory and Fund Selection. The appointment follows a series of strategic hires earlier this year, further bolstering the company’s deep expertise as it continues on a trajectory of rapid growth.

Rakesh Pabari has over two decades of experience across alternative investments experience, having spent his career to date at Deutsche Bank where he held positions across portfolio management and alternative funds research and selection. During his time at Deutsche Bank, Pabari was part of the team that created, launched and managed unique investment solutions for private wealth clients, family offices, and semi-institutional clients across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

In this new role Pabari will deploy his deep industry knowledge, fund research expertise and manager connectivity to further strengthen S64’s delivery of market leading private markets solutions for private wealth as it pursues further growth opportunities across the EMEA and APAC regions.

Following major recent client mandate wins, Pabari is the latest senior strategic hire to join the business and follows the appointments of Venkata Kota as Head of Client Solutions and Richard Marland as Head of Operations and Fund Governance.

Tarun Nagpal, Founder and CEO at S64 said: “Rakesh is an industry veteran who is highly respected across private banking and private markets. His wealth of experience and knowledge across these sectors will be invaluable as we grow our client base globally. Investment advisory and fund selection are central pillars of our long-term strategy, and we look forward to having Rakesh on our team again.”

Rakesh added: “I am thrilled to be joining S64 during such an exciting period of growth. S64 operates in a market that is ripe for disruption and is pioneering technology and solutions set to drastically change the way private markets are accessed.”
