Crestbridge

Crestbridge, a Jersey-based independent trust, fund and corporate services provider, has named Paul Denskevich risk director of its Jersey Management Company, as it looks to boost its offering in the area of on- and off-balance sheet ManCo services to the international funds market.

The position is a new one at Crestbridge ManCo, the company said.

Dentskevich, pictured, has more than 28 years of financial services experience, and specialises in risk management, investment management and the corporate governance of hedge and other multi-asset funds.

He comes to Crestbridge from Brevan Howard, the Jersey-based hedge fund manager. At Brevan Howard, he had been a senior risk manager, and served as a director on a number of subsidiary companies within the Brevan Howard business.

The Jersey ManCo is a separate operating division within the Crestbridge Group, staffed by its own team which specialises in establishing and managing funds, with expertise in both portfolio management and risk management. This team is further supported by individuals from other parts of the Crestbridge Group.

In addition to Jersey, where it is based, Crestbridge maintains offices in London, Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands.

In April Crestbridge announced it had established an outpost in Bahrain, through the acquisition of Ohad Trust BSC, a Manama-based business active in the same sectors.
