The Investment Management Association (IMA) has confirmed that its regulatory affairs director for investment funds and retail, Julie Patterson, is leaving the association for a new role at KPMG.
Patterson will leave the IMA at the end of August to become a director in KPMG’s European financial services regulatory centre of excellence.
She has more than 15 years of experience at the IMA. During her time at the association, Patterson played a role in the introduction of five sets of UCITS rules and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
Daniel Godfrey, chief executive of the IMA, said: “Patterson’s knowledge and experience are unique and her contribution to the promotion and development of asset management in the UK cannot be underestimated. We wish her all the best.”
