Meet the 29-year-old running $7 billion for wealthy clients

This year, a leading business magazine's annual '30 Under 30' list features a number of top private equity pros. They've quickly risen up the corporate ladder at the largest investment firms on Wall Street. The list includes alumni of Duke University, Yale, and the graduate business programs of the University of Pennsylvania, Michigan and New York University. According to the publication, each of the names is meant to represent the "game changers under 30 transforming the world".

One standout on the finance list is 29-year-old Minesh Bhatt, a director in the global family office business of Swiss global financial services company, UBS.

The family office provides research, trading solutions, and risk/portfolio management for its clients. The offices also advises clients on philanthropy investing, art investing, wealth planning, financing for yachts and jets, and other services.

In his role as a senior executive, Bhatt runs $7 billion of the $20 billion UBS manages for wealthy families in the US, according to the magazine. He was part of the launch team for the global family office business at UBS, reads his LinkedIn profile, and has worked in London, Zurich, and New York.

Bhatt graduated from Brunel University in London during the height of the financial crisis and, says the publication, started out working for free at UBS.

That, it now seems, has certainly paid off.
