Nucleus bolsters Investment Operations team

Nucleus, the IFA-owned and controlled wrap proposition, has made four new appointments to its investment operations and finance teams, with Kevin Maginnis assuming the role of investment operations manager.
In his new position Maginnis will work under chief operations officer Andrew Smith in overseeing and managing all operational aspects for the almost 3,000 funds and investment products available through the Nucleus platform.
Maginnis joins Nucleus from Alliance Trust Savings where he was Director of Operations during his Interim Management role, and prior to this was Asset Management Operations Director at Turcan Connell.
Other appointments to the investment operations team, Charlie Lavery and Greg Klar, will work with Maginnis to ensure a consistently high level of service for stakeholders at a time of continued expansion for Nucleus.
The firm has also appointed Janet Akbas as risk and compliance manager. Janet will support all aspects of Nucleus’ compliance and risk management requirements, including TCF.
Commenting on the appointments chief operations officer Andrew Smith said:
“Kevin, Charlie, Greg and Janet will be fantastic additions to our team and the appointments reflect Nucleus’ commitment to providing the highest quality operational service.”
Kevin Maginnis added:
“Joining Nucleus was an easy decision after hearing David Ferguson speak at the SIO conference last year. I’m excited to have the opportunity to play my part in providing a first class service for all our clients in a company which is challenging the status quo.”
