  • • Høltermand brings over 30 years of capital markets experience to the board chair position, marking a transition from traditional banking leadership to the alternative investment sector.
  • • The appointment reflects a broader management succession at SEB Denmark, with the bank appointing new country management following Høltermand's departure to pursue board membership opportunities.
Summary
Peter Høltermand is transitioning from his role as head of SEB Denmark to assume the position of chairman at Moma Advisors, a Copenhagen-based fixed income hedge fund manager. The move marks a shift from traditional banking to the alternative investment space for the experienced executive.

Høltermand's career spans more than 30 years in capital markets, with nearly 20 years spent in senior executive positions at SEB. He has led SEB's Danish operations for approximately 18 years, building substantial experience in banking leadership and client management across the Nordic region. According to the announcement, Høltermand is departing SEB to pursue a board membership career, with his appointment to Moma Advisors representing his first significant board role in the alternative asset management sector.

Moma Advisors specializes in fixed income hedge fund management and operates from Copenhagen. The appointment of an executive with Høltermand's background and tenure at a major financial institution suggests the firm is seeking to strengthen its governance and market positioning within the Nordic hedge fund industry.

SEB has initiated management succession planning in Denmark following Høltermand's departure, ensuring continuity in the bank's country operations during the transition period.
