The leadership team at Brightwell understands and values the importance of high standards of governance and integrity.
As a small private company, Brightwell is not required to adhere to any corporate governance codes. It is, however, an FCA regulated firm and operates within an enhanced regulatory environment. As such, we continually strive to meet our stakeholders’ expectations through our governance framework and forums.
The Committees
The Board
The Board is responsible for the overall strategy, oversight of financial and operational performance, key risks and regulatory compliance. The Board manages certain operations independently but delegates others to its committees. There are two formal Committees of the Board: RACC and RemCo, and two governance bodies with lines into the Board, as outlined below. A summary of each forum’s areas of focus is outlined on the following page.
Risk, Audit and Compliance Committee (RACC)
Chaired by the COO, in his capacity as Head of Risk, the key purpose is to provide oversight and advice to the Board in relation to the current and potential future risk profiles and exposures of the firm, and on the effectiveness of the firm’s internal controls framework (risk, compliance, internal and external audit).
Remuneration Committee (RemCo)
The RemCo is in place to ensure that the Board is supported in the aim of ensuring that the firm’s remuneration arrangements are aligned to the successful delivery of its long-term strategy and risk appetite.
Executive Monthly Meeting
The Board delegates day-to-day management of the Company to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO executes this responsibility via senior management and management meetings, such as the Executive Monthly meeting (the “Exec”).
The Exec provides oversight and challenge on the performance and delivery of the firm’s performance, strategy, controls and operations. The ExCo is made up of the Board’s executive directors plus the Chief of Staff (Gira Davda), the Chief Technology Officer (tbc), and the Chief Investment Administration Officer (Peter James).
