Maples Fund Services names first head of PE

Maples Fund Services has appointed Robert Wolfe as its inaugural head of private equity solutions, the firm said on Wednesday.

Based in Boston, Wolfe will lead the expansion of the firm’s private equity fund administration service.

His career in the private equity industry spans 25 years. Most recently he was chief operating officer at Citi private equity services in New York, and he previously held the same position at Bisys private equity services.

He also has more than 10 years’ experience in private equity fund administration.
Wolfe’s appointment follows the announcement earlier in the week that sister firm Maples Fiduciary is opening an office in London.

Led by Sam Ellis, the London team will focus on providing corporate and fiduciary services to UK companies, limited liability partnerships and structured finance vehicles (see pfm 10 October).

Maples Fund Services offers a wide range of services, including accounting, middle office, risk reporting and administration services to onshore and offshore hedge funds, funds of funds, private equity and real estate funds, family offices and managed account platforms.

It is a division of MaplesFS, an independent global fund services provider operating in key onshore and offshore financial centres across the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
