Regal Partners hires from Bloomberg

Bloomberg's local analytics head will join Regal Partners in a newly created role.

The ASX-listed Regal Partners has appointed William Myer as investment director of family offices and private clients.

Working alongside distribution head Rob Saunders, Myer will help expand Regal's relationships with Australian family offices and self-directed private investors.

Myer previously spent ten years at Bloomberg in London, New York and, most recently, Sydney, where he led the analytics team in Australia and New Zealand.

Earlier he worked as an analyst at Caledonia Investments and the Yulgilbar Group of Companies.

"The alternatives space in Australia is continuing to grow, providing sophisticated investors with increasingly attractive opportunities to earn attractive, uncorrelated, risk-adjusted returns," said Myer.

Regal said its long-short equities, private markets, real and natural assets, and capital solutions are attracting strong investment flows from single and multi-family office investors.

In January 2023, the business announced a binding commitment from a prominent Australian family office to invest $200 million (with the option to invest a further $100 million) in the recently launched Regal Private Credit Opportunities Fund.
