The UK branch of Netherlands-based Kempen Capital Management has expanded its operation to meet demand for fiduciary management.

Kempen Fiduciary Management has hired Katia Radermacher and Rob Kelly within its London-based investment and risk management teams. 

As portfolio manager, Radermacher will head up the portfolio management of client accounts, while Kelly, as risk and operations manager, will oversee risk management and provide reporting. Both take on newly created roles.

Radermacher joins from Morningstar Investment Management where she spent more than 10 years as a senior investment consultant and portfolio manager in the US and the UK. Kelly previously worked as a senior manager at Australian commodities company Plum Grove, where he oversaw derivatives and foreign exchange exposure.

“We’re seeing demand for fiduciary management continuing to grow in the UK. Katia and Rob will complement the asset allocation and risk management expertise we can offer pension schemes,” said the firm's managing director, Remco van Eeuwijk. 

Kempen Fiduciary Management serves pension funds and other long-term institutions across the UK and Europe.
