IQ-EQ Netherlands has appointed Stefan de Kort and Laurens de Lange as director of fund services and compliance leader, respectively.
Based in the firm’s Amsterdam office, both will also be members of the local leadership team and report to Luc Hollman, managing director of IQ-EQ Netherlands.
de Kort holds over 20 years of experience in the financial services, with a focus in the fund sector on business development and client service. He was most recently a self-employed business consultant, and has also held regional leadership positions at State Street and Northern Trust.
de Lange initially joined IQ-EQ Netherlands in 2018 as senior compliance manager and general counsel for the company’s fund services and structured finance teams in the region. Before joining IQ-EQ, he served as managing director of Ostrica, a boutique asset management firm specialising in global equity stocks and bonds selection.
Commenting on the appointments, Hollman said: “It gives me great pleasure to welcome Stefan de Kort to IQ-EQ and to be able to reward Laurens de Lange’s excellent contribution over the past couple of years.”
“The Netherlands leadership team and I are confident that de Lange’s legal expertise in the fund and asset management space will add great value to the extensive corporate knowledge already available within our compliance team.”
“Equally, we are excited for Stefan de Kort to bring his significant business development and service delivery experience to IQ-EQ,” Hollman added.
