First Eagle Investments has appointed Rémi Casals as executive managing director and head of international wealth solutions.
Casals leads the team responsible for the firm’s international wholesale distribution business, which comprises approximately US$10 billion in assets through its partnership with Amundi Asset Management and its Ireland-based ICAV investment offerings.
He joins the firm’s partnership committee and reports directly to Mehdi Mahmud, president and chief executive officer.
With 25 years of experience delivering investment solutions to clients globally, Casals brings deep expertise across public markets as well as alternative strategies. Most recently, he served as global head of fixed income business at Vontobel Asset Management, where he led a team focused on marketing fixed income investments to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth investors, family offices, and institutions.
Previously, Casals held executive and senior distribution roles at Aviva Investors, Rogge Global Partners, AXA Investment Managers, and BlackRock, with a focus on European and international markets. He holds an executive MBA from London Business School, a master’s degree in management from ESCP Business School, and a master’s degree in political science from Sciences Po Strasbourg.
In addition to leading the team responsible for distributing First Eagle strategies across non-US wealth channels, Casals will help drive the firm’s global growth strategy.
His appointment underscores First Eagle’s ongoing commitment to expanding its footprint outside the US and delivering differentiated, actively managed investment solutions to clients worldwide, the company says.
First Eagle Investments is an independent, privately owned investment management firm headquartered in New York with approximately US$152 billion in assets under management as of March 31 2025.
