Growing client demands for truly international financial services experience and insight sees EY appoint Lutz Fernholz as Senior Manager in the Channel Islands.

Mr Fernholz has moved to EY in Jersey from the Frankfurt office, bringing with him 13 years of international financial service experience. He has a proven track record working with multinational financial services clients in the asset management, and banking and capital markets sectors.

In his new role, Mr Fernholz will focus on supporting clients in the asset management sector, particularly those with private equity and real estate investments. His deep experience and understanding of the EU regulatory environment means that clients can expect relevant insight regarding the implications of legislation and proactive solutions tailored to their needs.

Mr Fernholz has an impressive academic background, having studied at a number of educational institutions in Germany, France and the USA attaining undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications. His international perspective will be of enormous benefit in his new role, bringing additional expertise to EY's clients and new knowledge and experience to the Channel Islands offices.

Having moved to Jersey with his wife and daughter, Mr Fernholz and his family are already enjoying their new home and particularly the sense of community that can be found in the Island.

“My family and I have been made to feel very welcome in Jersey and I'm enjoying working here. I look forward to sharing my experience in Germany and around the world to benefit our clients.”

Andrew Dann EY's Channel Islands Managing Partner, said “Lutz's appointment further strengthens our local international financial services knowledge and experience at an exciting time following the recent introduction of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).”
