- Alexandra (Lexi) DeLuca has been appointed Vice President and Senior Managing Editor. She will oversee the editorial direction and operations of the brand's magazine, website and newsletters from the firm's New York office.

- Richard Schwartz, based in London, has been named Editorial Director, Funds & Securities Services for Asset International, with special responsibility for Global Custodian's surveys. He will head the effort on a wide range of surveys that touch upon prime brokerage, global custody, fund administration, agent banks and other key aspects of the global securities services industry. Mr. Schwartz is a co-founder and consulting editor on The Trade magazine and an acting editor of Dialogue magazine, published by SWIFT.
