About Mike Paul
With a focus on MarketGrader’s Smart Beta Indexes business, Mike Paul will provide strategic guidance on matters of business development, key staffing considerations, and commercialization opportunities for the firm’s global index library, as well as counsel on the product roadmap and partnerships.
Mike Paul started his career as part of the team that created iShares ETFs, which transformed the asset management industry. He was then tapped to start a European iShares business which grew to become the largest ETF franchise in EMEA. Later, in his time as Head of Product Development at iShares in the U.S., Paul oversaw the launch of 100+ products, including some of today’s largest ETFs: LQD, HYG, EEM, and IAU. He then joined Warburg Pincus where they led an investment into Source, a European asset management firm. Paul became CEO and grew Source into a leading position in Europe before selling the business to Invesco in 2017, where he continued running the business until 2019. He is the CEO of a multi-family office and is a board member at CapIntel.
“Carlos and his team have built a truly unique product offering underpinned by a well-defined and longstanding systematic process. There are so many applications across the wealth and investment management landscape for their smart beta solution set, and I look forward to helping their team unlock the next stage of growth. With all the crowding in the market today, however, it’s performance that really stands out at the end of the day. And on that point, I couldn’t be more energized to be joining MarketGrader’s board,” said Mike Paul.
