ETF Securities (UK) Limited has appointed Mark Weeks as chief executive officer of the group’s UK entity with immediate effect.
He will continue to report into Graham Tuckwell, chairman and chief executive officer of the parent company, ETF Securities Limited.
In his new role, Weeks (pictured) will now be responsible for most of the group’s operations, whilst Tuckwell will maintain responsibilities for key corporate matters. Based in London, Weeks has worked with ETF Securities since 2009. With over 20 years of experience in the financial sector, he previously held senior positions at UBS, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

This appointment continues my desire to devolve responsibility to a management team which is more than capable of taking on enhanced roles.”
