J.P. Morgan has appointed Henry Capra as head of custody and funds services for Australia and New Zealand.

Capra will be responsible for all aspects of custody and funds services in Australia and New Zealand. He takes over from Mark Kelley, who has led the Australia and New Zealand business since December 2011. Kelley moves into a fulltime regional role as the APAC head of custody and fund services, investor services, based in Sydney.

Capra will report to Kelley.

Capra has more than 24 years of financial services and funds management experience. He comes to J.P. Morgan from Blackrock Investment Management Australia, where he was chief operating officer.

“Henry’s appointment further strengthens our investor services offering in this market as we commence the next phase of our business,” Kelley says. “We have made significant investments in our Australian franchise and as a global bank, we recognise the importance of this dynamic in the fast growing local market. Henry’s deep expertise and industry knowledge will help guide our business as we work to support the needs of our client base and continue our market leadership position.”
