Carnegie Fund Services SA (CFS), the leading Swiss Representative and Distributor of funds in Switzerland, has appointed John D. Campbell OBE as Chairman of its Advisory Board, with immediate effect.
In this newly created role, Mr Campbell will report to Neil Carnegie, Chairman of CFS, as the business expands its capabilities via fundeye.com, its FINMA and FSMA approved global fintech platform for investors, with which this website has entered into a content sharing agreement.
Mr Campbell was previously Global Head of Strategic Clients at Aberdeen Standard Investments and formerly worked at State Street for 16 years, latterly as Senior Managing Director, leading State Street’s Global Services business across the UKMEA region.
Mr Carnegie said in a statement: “I am delighted to welcome John, as we embark on an exciting new chapter in our development of fundeye.com. His broad experience and track record of success speaks for itself. CFS has enjoyed steady growth in recent years and is well-placed to continue that trajectory with fundeye.com’s compelling client offering, providing our fund management clients with a reliable and experienced Swiss partner that is focused on delivering sustainable value and high levels of service.
“In a fragmented, uncompetitive and inefficient market, fundeye.com is a disruptor, utilising modern proprietary technology to drive down costs and offer publication and dissemination across multiple jurisdictions with outstanding service quality. As a carbon-neutral business, with carbon-neutral data partners, we are ideally placed to provide our clients with a sustainable supply chain that helps them achieve their net zero objectives.”
Mr Campbell said: “I am excited to be joining CFS at such a pivotal moment in the development of its fintech investor platform, with a proposition that will bring significant and positive benefits to the worldwide business of fund distribution. With a long and well-established reputation for reliability and high levels of service, CFS has an impressive list of market-leading fund groups as clients, many of whom I have had the pleasure to work with in my previous roles. The fact that CFS is a business run on sustainable principles speaks volumes for the foresight and integrity of its experienced management team, as helping the fund management industry to lead investors by example towards a sustainable future is vital, if we are to overcome the biggest challenge of our time.”
In his new role, Mr Campbell will be responsible for building out CFS’s Advisory Board, to guide the future strategy and development of fundeye.com, which already boasts over 110,000 ISINs, on behalf of more than 18,000 sub-funds, with the ability to publish and disseminate to investors across 59 jurisdictions.
