Fund manager GSFM has appointed two senior executives to new roles in response to a period of rapid growth for the firm as well as increased regulatory requirements.

Stuart Osborne has been appointed as chief operating officer and will join GSFM’s executive committee. Osborne joined GSFM in March 2017 as compliance manager, bringing extensive experience in operations, process improvement, risk management and compliance. In 2019, he was promoted to senior manager – operations and risk.

Peter Nichols – already on the executive committee – has been appointed to the newly created role of chief financial officer. Nichols joined GSFM in 2014 as chief operating officer, where he was responsible for the firm’s operations, compliance, product, marketing and finance functions, including oversight of fund administration, custody and unit registry providers.

Osborne and Nichols will report to GSFM CEO Damien McIntyre.
