TPI Fund Managers Ltd
Non-Executive Director
TPI Fund Managers Ltd, a UK AIFM with c. £330m of assets under management sought a Non-Executive Director to comply with the FCA market study. The ideal candidate needed to have a senior-level background in the asset management industry with a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape. They wanted to appoint someone who had a direct investment background, with more of a regulatory / risk management profile (e.g. compliance, CRO, COO, funds lawyer, regulator etc).
Through Nurole they found an ideal candidate in Kevin Troup, a highly experienced former Portfolio/Fund Manager whose career spans over 20 years. He was the former Investment Director at Standard Life Investments Ltd, where he led a new OEIC and Segregated product launch, that helped raise nearly $2bn for Institutional bank and insurance clients in North America. Since retiring, Kevin has taken on several non-executive roles, most notably as an FCA approved Non-Executive Director at Barings Fund Managers Ltd and Independent Investment Committee Member for National Trust for Scotland.
I liked the Nurole approach and the whole set-up - a much more efficient, modern way of sourcing NEDs which is much needed in this era.

Client
My greatest positive about Nurole is how an applicant can shape and personalise their answers to the 3-4 key questions asked in the application process. This is such an enhancement on the 'bland ' CV/covering letter application or traditional head-hunter process which often doesn't allow someone's personality, and character to come through and reply specifically to what the organisation is looking for.
