Zurich, 24 November 2008 – EFG International strengthens its Los Angeles wealth management team

In March 2008, EFG International’s business in the United States, EFG Capital International Corp, established a Los Angeles office for its subsidiary EFG Capital Asset Management. Clinton Hodges and Kyle Dunphy, two experienced wealth management practitioners, are responsible for developing the office.

The offering encompasses wealth structuring and portfolio management. Capabilities have resonated with a good number of very wealthy individuals, and initial progress is ahead of schedule.

To build upon this success, the Los Angeles office has recently appointed Amira Matar as Senior Director of Wealth Management. Amira has over 30 years’ banking experience, encompassing private wealth management, credit administration and corporate banking.

Prior to joining EFG, Amira worked for Bank of America, City National Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon. Amira is a prominent member of the Los Angeles Lebanese community, and is a co-founder of a number of Lebanese-American philanthropic organisations.

In addition to working with ultra-high net worth clients in the US, Amira will be seeking to develop opportunities targeting the Lebanese diaspora, and in the Middle East more generally.
