Kalman joins Arbitrium board

Harvey Kalman has joined the board of Arbitrium Capital.

Earlier this year Kalman left his role as managing director for Equity Trustees across the UK and Europe. Said Kalman of his new directorship, "I am very pleased to be joining Arbitrium's team of outstanding individuals, who together combine an enormous depth of experience and a sharp, specialist investing lens.

"As chair of the group's credit risk committee, my focus will be on assessing investments from all angles to ensure portfolios are robust and well set to achieve objectives, as well optimising operational and compliance functions," he said.

Arbitrium COO Daniel Liptak said Kalman's appointment will continue the company's growth trajectory. "Harvey's role in assessing and monitoring risk is critical to our risk-adjusted return focus. We are thrilled and privileged to have his experience on board," he said.

Kalman is also a board director and chair of the board audit & investment committee at the Menzies Foundation and has served on the board of the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner. Prior to Equity Trustees, he held senior executive roles with ANZ and KPMG after beginning his career as an analyst with the Ford Motor Credit Company.
