Richard Eagle - Senior Compliance Consultant

Richard joined Complyport in 2006 from Natexis Banques Populaires London Branch 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. He has been an authorised person since 1979, approved originally by the Bank of England and subsequently by SFA / FSA as Compliance Oversight and Money Laundering Reporting Officer and Investment Adviser. As a "hands on” FSA Compliance and MLRO, Richard has taken a number of companies through the SFA and FSA permission regimes and established the infrastructure enabling the commencement of business.

Prior to Natexis, Richard was a Compliance and AML contractor. During this time he was the founding Compliance, MLRO and an executive director of Halewood International Futures Ltd, a commodity and financial derivatives  firm trading financial and index futures, CFD's and other similar instruments on behalf of professional investors. Before this, from 1991, he was the founding managing director of a specialist international fixed income broker. During this period his career as a broker ran parallel with his responsibilities for regulatory matters.

Before Richard's regulatory career commenced he was engaged in the City of London's investment banking community for more than 30 years. This provided extensive experience as an investment manager, fixed income institutional broker, market maker in convertible debt and international arbitrageur. This period included 8 years with Bank Julius Baer International and Julius Baer Investment Management and eight years with John Govett & Co Ltd as a private client investment manager. These years have been the cornerstone of his technical understanding and deep knowledge of financial markets and practices. 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.

At Complyport Richard is a Senior Compliance Consultant engaged in the provision of Compliance and MLRO services as a member of the Supervision Team with a particular emphasis on wholesale banking and markets.
