CACEIS UK has appointed Christopher Christofi as head of risk and permanent controls and CASS oversight officer.
Based in London, Christofi will oversee operational risk control frameworks across the CACEIS UK business and, as a subject matter expert on risk and CASS, will act as an advisor to CACEIS’ custody services, fund accounting and depositary teams.
Christofi joins CACEIS UK from Societe Generale Securities Services, where he was head of compliance advisory to custody services covering authorised and unauthorised open and closed-ended fund structures.
Prior to his tenure at SGSS, Christofi worked with the Financial Conduct Authority in the implementation of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
Pat Sharman, country managing director at CACEIS UK, comments “Chris’ appointment reaffirms CACEIS’s growth ambitions in the UK and our commitment to partner with asset managers and pension schemes through a focus on sustainable governance and client-first thinking. Chris is a great addition to the team and brings considerable expertise in operational risk, operational resilience and governance within regulated environments.”
Christofi says: “I was really attracted by CACEIS’ ambition for growth in the UK, their sustainability expertise and the personalities in the team. I also like the way CACEIS is bringing new governance solutions into the market to help their clients monitor a new range of challenges, such as ESG and climate risk. I am looking forward to working with such an ambitious team.”
