Thuesen, who is resigning from the CEO role at Denmark’s largest bank-independent asset manager effective immediately.

“I am very pleased to have Peter and his extensive experience at Formuepleje,” Kirstine Damkjær, chairman of the board at Formuepleje, comments on Kjærgaard’s appointment as CEO. “Formuepleje is today Denmark’s largest bank-independent private asset manager and together with our shareholders we have renewed ambitions to grow our business for the benefit of our customers and shareholders,” she adds. “Peter is the right person to set the direction and realize our potential for long-term growth.”
