Richard Eagle - Director
Richard joined Complyport in 2006 from Natixis, London after a 5 year period as Head of Compliance and MLRO for most of the UK business group. This included wholesale and investment banking, bond trading, equity broking, asset management and UCITS. His extensive experience is invaluable in the construction of new businesses and the analysis and supervision of current compliance arrangements. Richard was originally authorised by the Bank of England in 1979 and subsequently by FSA as Compliance Oversight, Money Laundering Reporting Officer and Investment Adviser. As a 'hands on' FSA Compliance Officer and MLRO, Richard has taken a number of companies through the FSA permission regimes and established the infrastructure enabling the commencement of business.
Prior to Natixis, Richard was a Compliance and AML contractor. During this time he was the founding Compliance and Money Laundering Reporting Officer and also appointed as an executive director of a futures and options firm. From 1991, he was the founding Managing Director of a London Stock Exchange member firm specialising in domestic and international fixed income and debt to equity instruments. During this period his career as a broker ran parallel with his responsibilities for governance and regulatory matters.
Many years working for regulated firms within the City's investment banking community provided extensive experience at Board level as an investment manager in Private Wealth and Pension Fund Management. Prior to this he managed a team of fixed income institutional brokers and personally specialised in market making in convertible debt alongside proprietary trading as an international arbitrageur. These years developed his technical and fundamental knowledge of financial markets and practices.
At Complyport Richard is the Director of our Securities Business team and a Senior Compliance Consultant resource engaged in the support and supervision of client firms and the practical application of compliance and MLRO solutions.
Richard is qualified under ISMA, is a Member of the Securities Institute (MSI) and received management and business training at the GEC Training School in Rugby.
