Remembering Philippe Uzan

It is with a heavy heart that we reflect on the recent passing of Philippe Uzan, a dedicated leader at iM Global Partner (iMGP), who left us a month ago due to a devastating illness. Philippe's remarkable journey in asset management spanned over three decades, during which he made significant contributions to the industry and to the many organizations where he worked.

Joining iM Global Partner in February 2020 as Deputy CEO and CIO Global Asset Management, Philippe was responsible for overseeing financial strategies and creating innovative investment solutions for clients across Europe and the United States. His expertise covered a diverse range of asset classes, and he had a talent for translating complex financial concepts into relatable insights, making him a respected figure not only within the firm but throughout the financial community.

Before his time at iMGP, Philippe served as Chief Investment Officer at Edmond De Rothschild Asset Management for over eleven years. During his tenure, he led portfolio management teams, focusing on enhancing the synergies between investment analysis and execution. His earlier roles included Director of Research and Global Asset Allocation, where he honed the development of portfolio management and research teams while modernizing investment processes.

Philippe began his impressive career as an Equity Derivatives Trader at Société Générale and held pivotal roles at AGF Asset Management, which is now part of Allianz Global Investors, as well as at Natixis AM. His journey through such esteemed institutions not only showcases his intellect but highlights his collaborative spirit, which earned him enduring respect among peers.

Colleagues and friends remember Philippe not only for his professional achievements but also for his warmth, humor, and steadfast dedication to his work and those around him. Philippe Couvrecelle, the Founder and CEO of iM Global Partner, expressed his deep condolences, stating, "Philippe was a brilliant mind and a wonderful person. His passing leaves a void that will be felt across our industry. We will honor his memory by continuing to uphold the values he embodied within our company culture."

Philippe's legacy is etched in the hearts of those he worked with; his insights and guidance shaped the careers of many and contributed to the advancement of investment practices. Beyond his professional accolades, he will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for colleagues and clients alike.

During this difficult time, our thoughts are with Philippe's wife, three children, and all his family and friends. His impact on the world of finance and the lives he touched will endure, and we hope to carry forward his commitment to excellence as we navigate future challenges and opportunities.

In his honor, we reflect on the strength and success of iM Global Partner, carrying forward the values that Philippe was so passionate about. We continue to be inspired by his dedication and will strive to honor his memory in all that we do.

Philippe Uzan, you will be greatly missed. Your legacy will continue to shine bright in the paths you illuminated for so many. Rest in peace.
