INDOS Financial Limited (“INDOS”), the UK independent depositary, has appointed Jon Masters to the new position of Head of Client and Business Development. Mr Masters had most recently been Head of Compliance at Sciens Group in London since 2014.
“Continued growth across all segments of our business, hedge, private equity, real estate and more recently full depositary, now means that INDOS has over 80 funds using our independent depositary services, with assets in excess of $15bn. We have therefore taken the decision to invest in senior client level service and business development to help support and continue to drive the business forward,” said Bill Prew, founder and CEO of INDOS.
“I have known Jon for several years and had the pleasure of working with him for six months earlier this year as he helped build out our full depositary business. I know he will be able to make an even greater contribution to the growth of INDOS in his new permanent role,” Mr Prew continued.
