The Genevan bank is adding a prominent asset manager to a small group of top bankers who hold equity stakes.

Mirabaud is naming Anu Narula an equity partner, effective January 1, the Swiss wealth manager said in an emailed statement on Friday. The London-based banker, an eight-year veteran of Mirabaud, oversees the bank's global equities business.  

Narula is the fifth equity partner – formerly known as limited partners – after Etienne d’Arenberg, Thiago Frazao, and Alain Baron, private banking chiefs in the U.K., in Latin America, and in the Middle East and North Africa respectively, as well as Andrew Lake, who oversees credit and fixed income in Mirabaud's asset management arm. 

The new terminology – equity partner – better conveys the mens' importance to the group, Yves Mirabaud, senior partner of the eponymous bank, said.
