CityWire: BullionVault Hires ex-Skandia Man for Platform Push

LONDON, 8 June 2011 - Bullionvault, the low-cost silver and gold exchange for private investors, appears today at CityWire, the independent news-site for financial intermediaries, advisors and investors.

"There is growing awareness among financial advisers and investors of the importance of having exposure to gold as an asset class, whether used as a diversifier, an inflation hedge or as portfolio insurance against the next potential crisis," CityWire quotes Bullionvault's new head of global business development, Steve Kowal.

Already the world's No.1 gold trading and ownership service online, BullionVault "is [now] looking to expand on this by broadening its service out to advisers and distribution platforms and by making low-cost gold ownership available via banks and brokerages," says the news-site.

Previously head of open architecture at Skandia Investment Group, Steve Kowal managed commercial relationships with third-party providers covering £30 billion ($50bn) in assets on behalf of Skandia's global fund distribution platforms. He also held roles at Fidelity FundsNetwork, where he served as director of strategic alliance, and at Fidelity International as director of international business development.

"Steve's arrival marks a new phase in Bulliovault's continued growth and expansion," says BullionVault founder and CEO Paul Tustain. "I am pleased to be adding his wealth of experience to our capabilities."
