Copia expands board
Multi-boutique manager, Copia Investment Partners has appointed Bruce Loveday to its board as a non-executive director to prepare the company for further growth, it said.
Loveday was a chief executive of two funds management businesses and held senior executive positions in banking, institutional stockbroking, asset consulting and investor relations.
This appointment, which was aimed to strengthen the firm’s corporate governance and independence, followed a number of earlier announcements made by the firm.
At the start of the year, Copia appointed Michael Voskresensky, who joined from Mutual Trust, as its new chief financial officer (CFO).
The company also announced a number of new developments which included transitioning the unit registry of its managed funds to OneVue and the addition of its fund, Vertium Equity Income Fund, to the BT Wrap, BT Panorama, Hub24 and FirstWrap platforms.
Copia’s chief executive, Sam Baillieu said: “Copia has the platform, structures and capabilities in place to scale up and we’re committed to adding assets to our existing managers, as well as onboarding exciting new boutiques that complement our existing product offering.”
