DCG in Jersey has appointed Paul Perris to a senior role designed to help further develop the firm’s funds business and to expand its service capabilities globally.

Perris (pictured) has more than 20 years’ experience in the establishment and administration of a wide range of multi jurisdictional corporate, real estate and private wealth structures for global funds, institutions and ultra high net worth individuals.

He joins DCG from Ogier, the offshore law firm and fiduciary group where he was a partner and group director.

Perris has experience dealing with Middle Eastern investors, sovereign wealth funds and family offices and spent three years between 2008 and 2011 in Bahrain where he established and headed up an office to provide trust and company administration services.

He also has experience sitting on the boards of a wide range of regulated and unregulated structures.

Graeme McArthur, group managing director of DCG, says: “We are delighted to welcome Paul to the DCG team. His knowledge of the funds sector will be invaluable to the business and to our clients as we continue to develop and enhance our fund administration offering. Paul’s appointment adds to the depth of experience we can offer our institutional clients and brings new insights and understanding of the Gulf region and the requirements of investors who are based there.”
