Founded in the midst of the 2008 financial crash, MASECO was created by a team of US expats concerned about how they, and other Americans living outside the US, lacked choices of financial services.

MASECO Private Wealth, a UK-based firm that has specialised in serving the needs for people with US links, has appointed Adrian Edwards as its new chief operating officer. He is taking over from Nick Tissot, who left in April. 

Edwards has more than 20 years’ experience in the market, having held various senior roles throughout his career. Most recently, he was head of operations and IT at Ahli United Bank, UK, and before that served as global head of operations transformation at FNZ.

Prior to this, he spent 23 years at Deutsche Bank in various divisions, including investment banking/capital markets and latterly as COO – Wealth Management UK. 

MASECO, which oversees more than £2.9 billion ($3.69 billion) of assets, was established in June 2008 by a team of US expats in London who had worked at Citigroup. They founded the business to make it easier for expats to gain access to financial services outside the US. MASECO founded its Asian business in 2016.
