Stanhope Capital and Arche Associates have entered into a definitive merger agreement. The combined company will oversee close to USD 29 billion and employ approximately 160 people across 8 offices worldwide.

The merger will enable clients of both firms to benefit from a global investment team with experience across all asset classes, including equities, fixed income, hedge funds, private equity and real estate. Upon closing of the transaction, the two firms will operate as a single company for all intents and purposes, particularly in the area of investment research and strategy.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Frederic Otto, Rudy Paulet and Franck Payrar (who founded Arche in 2012) will all become shareholders in Stanhope Capital Group and carry on with their respective senior management functions.
