Gareth Murphy

Chief Risk Officer

Gareth has been our Chief Risk Officer since January 2018. He joined our business in January 2017 as Chief Risk Officer of Standard Life Investments and Deputy Group Chief Risk Officer.

Previously, Gareth spent six years as Director of Markets Supervision at the Central Bank of Ireland. During that time, he was also a member of the Board of Supervisors of the European Securities and Markets Authority and chair of its Investment Management Standing Committee.

From 1995, Gareth spent 13 years in the investment banking and hedge fund industries, initially at Long-Term Capital Management, then at JP Morgan where he was Co-Head of European Equity Flow Derivatives, and then at Castlegrove Capital Management where he was a partner. This period was book-ended by two stints at the Bank of England where he started his career as an economist in 1992, returning in 2008.
