LUXEMBOURG, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Centralis' Governance, Risk and Compliance service line, launched earlier this

year on the incorporation of Wheelhouse Advisors into the Group, continues to

broaden its proposition to the alternative investment management sector

following last month's acquisition of Danesmead Limited.

Centralis Group today announced the further expansion of its Governance, Risk

and Compliance service line and Cayman Islands business operations with the

appointment of offshore anti-money laundering (AML) specialist Gary McLean.

Gary will lead a new independent anti-money laundering risk management team

that will focus on the provision of specialised AML services to alternative

investment funds domiciled in all major jurisdictions. This development comes

on the back of the acquisition of the independent directorship services

provider Danesmead Limited [ http://www.danesmead.com/ ] in November.

Under Gary's leadership, tailored investment fund specific AML risk solutions

will be delivered via a high calibre team of experienced AML professionals.  

Services include client funds' Anti Money Laundering Compliance Officer, Money

Laundering Reporting Officer, Deputy Money Laundering Reporting Officer roles

and delivering AML Advisory.

Matthew Crisp, Head of Centralis Governance, Risk & Compliance commented: "Hot

on the heels of welcoming our highly experienced independent fund directors to

the group, it is immensely satisfying that we are now further extending our

services for alternative investment managers. I am delighted to welcome Gary.

As an accomplished AML professional who has worked with some of the world's

leading asset managers, the experience he brings to bear demonstrates a world

class understanding of the AML risk requirements that investment funds face and

must comply with, along with the practical means of discharging the attendant

obligations. With this latest development, as well as those to come, we strive

to bring best-in-class solutions to both current and new clients."

Gary McLean commented: "I am absolutely delighted to join the growing team of

Centralis professionals. The goal is to provide high quality AML risk solutions

that are tailored to address the specific needs of investment funds. The

independence and support network of Centralis Group provides the perfect

environment to do so."
