Salvin Nand, a notable lawyer from Lautoka, has been appointed as the Chairperson of SPX Trustees Limited, the trustee services division of the SPX Group. Established in 2021 and licensed by the Reserve Bank of Fiji, SPX Trustees focuses on providing trustee services related to capital market instruments, including shares and securities.
Nand’s extensive experience spans over 15 years in legal practice, corporate governance, and academia. He has been involved with the Fijian capital market as an Independent Director on the SPX Board, showcasing his commitment and knowledge in the field. His expertise includes Intellectual Property Law, Competition Policy, and Securities Exchange Regulations, particularly concerning insider trading compliance and market conduct standards.
In addition to his legal work, Nand has contributed significantly to academia, engaging in teaching and research for more than a decade. He also serves as co-editor of the Asia-Pacific Journal of Education, Business, and Society and holds advanced degrees in law from prestigious institutions in New Zealand and Australia.
This appointment reflects a proactive approach by SPX in strengthening its leadership and governance frameworks to enhance the integrity of Fiji’s capital markets. As SPX aims to align itself with global best practices, Nand’s knowledge and experience will be crucial in navigating the evolving financial landscape, fostering investor confidence, and promoting long-term growth within the sector.
Moreover, similar to recent appointments within Fiji’s financial institutions—such as new directors in the South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) and the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF)—this change indicates a forward-looking perspective that emphasizes experienced leadership essential for initiating positive transformations in the region’s economic landscape.
