Cofunds has appointed Rose St Louis as key account manager, effective from next month.

St Louis joins Cofunds from Praemium, where she held the positions of relationship manager and implementation manager. Before that, she served at SEI Investments Europe, where she was head of global client account management.

In her new role, St Louis will be responsible for developing and managing relationships with Cofunds' key clients. In addition, she’ll be responsible for training and support when new advisors, discretionary managers and product providers sign up with the platform.

In other recent moves at the firm, earlier in the month Cofunds announced that its chief executive, Martin Davis, has stepped down following the completion of the firm's acquisition by Legal & General. He has been replaced by the head of strategic opportunities in L&G's savings unit, Chris Last.

Cofunds had more than £50 billion (around $75 billion) in assets under administration, as at 14 March 2013.
