The European Securities and Markets Authority, the EU’s financial markets regulator, has appointed new members to its Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group (SMSG).
The new members will next month start their four-year term, during which they will provide Esma with advice on its policy work and will be consulted on technical standards and guidelines.
New appointees to the 30-member high-level advisory committee include Thomas Richter, chief executive of the German Investment Funds Association BVI.
Verena Ross, Esma’s chair, said: “Esma works to enhance investor protection, build more effective and attractive capital markets in the European Union and safeguard financial stability.
“This is why I look forward to hearing the SMSG members’ perspectives on market developments and to receiving valuable advice on numerous files under Esma’s remit.”
The successful candidates were selected from a field of 171 eligible applicants.
