Risch Group

Risch Group is a pioneering executive search firm that has been serving the investments business since 1990. Based in New York, the firm has established a thirty-five year track record in private markets, banking, alternative investments, asset and wealth management. As one of the first executive search firms to focus specifically on private markets and asset/wealth management, Risch Group has built global reach across the entire investments space through their data-driven recruiting approach and proprietary technology platform.

Risch Group specializes in delivering outstanding executive search and advisory services to investment managers across the US and Europe. Their client base includes global financial institutions, real estate managers, private credit firms, hedge funds, private equity firms, asset managers, wealth managers, and banks of all sizes. The firm approaches each search with the singular purpose of recruiting talent that provides clients with a sustainable competitive advantage.

The company was an early innovator in the recruitment space, creating one of the first data-driven recruiting platforms and developing proprietary software a decade before technology became common in the industry. This technological advantage, combined with over three decades of deep industry knowledge, has enabled the boutique firm to achieve global reach and maintain its position as a leader in the investments recruitment sector.

Risch Group's approach is built on strong values including putting clients' interests first, protecting the integrity of their people and reputation, and maintaining strict confidentiality. The firm has always been committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in their recruiting process, rooted in the founders' connection to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Their success is defined by superior client satisfaction and a culture that attracts and retains top talent.

The firm's expertise spans the full spectrum of alternative investment strategies, having worked with clients from boutique firms to global financial institutions. Their experience includes recruiting for executive suite positions as well as investment and capital raising functions, ensuring they can meet the complex staffing needs across the entire alternative investments universe.
