RAW Capital Partners has appointed a former FCA supervisor as its new head of risk and compliance.
Victoria Smallman had spent the past 13 years in the UK, working first for the FCA before then holding a variety of roles for FTSE-listed Capita, rising to head of growth, risk and compliance. In her time at the FCA, she received the FCA Infinity Award for her work as an FCA Change Ambassador.
She recently relocated back to Guernsey to take up the new role, in which she will lead RAW Capital Partners’ risk and compliance function.
The Guernsey-based investment management firm, through the RAW Mortgage Fund, provides specialist mortgages to foreign nationals and UK expats looking to invest in UK buy-to-let property, as well as mortgages for Channel Islanders.
Smallman said: “I’m absolutely delighted to join RAW Capital Partners and move to Guernsey with my family. Combining specialist mortgages and alternative investment opportunities, RAW is an excellent business and is experiencing phenomenal growth – I’m excited to play my part in ensuring this continues.”
Ben Nichols, interim managing director of RAW Capital Partners, added: “Victoria is a brilliant addition to our team, and she has made an immediate positive impact. I’m confident that we will continue to benefit from her extensive expertise and experience as we accelerate our growth.”
