Amicorp FS (UK) Plc, the international specialist fund services group, has expanded its Luxembourg team with two additional senior hires.
Paul Akkerman (pictured above) and Alexander Wedlich have been appointed by Amicorp to add further weight to the sales team to grow the business in Luxembourg and across the region. Their appointments follow that of Clive Short who joined the team in August.
Akkerman previously held senior positions at TMF Group and Intertrust, where he supported managers across the fund lifecycle, particularly pan European PERE funds.
Wedlich (pictured below) joins from Apex Group, where he was head of business development for Real Assets in Continental Europe.
Prior to that, he set up and headed the development of the AssetMetrix GmbH branch in Luxembourg, and held various senior positions at Credit Suisse, RBC Investor & Treasury Services, CACEIS Bank Luxembourg SA, Clearstream Banking SA – Deutsche Boerse Group and BNY Mellon.
Kin Lai, chief executive officer of Amicorp Fund Services, said: “We are delighted Paul Akkerman and Alex Wedlich have joined us to help spearhead the expansion of our business, both adding considerable experience and know-how.
"They will collaborate with our strengthened European commercial team to capitalize on Luxembourg’s position as a primary hub for Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) in illiquid asset classes and enhance our market presence in this pivotal region.”
