GLAS, the leading independent provider of finance administration services, has appointed Joe Knight to spearhead the expansion of the firm’s existing Direct Lending platform.  Joe will have responsibility for business development and developing strategic relationships with GLAS’ existing direct lending client base. The move comes as funds increasingly replace banks in the lower to middle market transactions, leading to an uptick in demand for independent agent and trustee services.

Anyone for MiFID 3?

I was chatting with the Reg folks here at Fidessa Towers yesterday and the spectre of MiFID 3 came up. Before you all jump off the window ledge there is no official notion of this yet, but when will the regulators feel that their work really is done? The direction of travel has been clear for a while – dismantle the current industry and replace it with something that is utilitarian, uniform and, above all, safe. At the heart of this is the regulator’s poster child “outcomes for end investors” and making sure that their investment dollars are spent properly.
