TORONTO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Macquarie Private Wealth has hired top adviser Denny Matte, formerly of Desjardins, as senior vice-president at its Montreal office, the Canadian wealth management division of Australia's Macquarie Group said on Friday.
Matte, whose book is worth more than C$100 million ($102 million), represents some of the country's most affluent individuals, entrepreneurs and families, Macquarie said.
'This is one of the highest-profile hires we have had at Macquarie,' said spokesman Aaron Boles.
Matte began his career at Midland Doherty in 1986 as a financial analyst before becoming an adviser. In 2001, after Midland was taken over by Merrill Lynch, Matte was appointed to their elite group of ultra-high-net-worth advisers.
