Macquarie Infrastructure debt investments solutions (MIDIS), part of the Macquarie Funds Group, the asset management arm of Macquarie Group Ltd, said it is expanding its European footprint by appointing Tom van Rijsewijk and Tim Humphrey and relocating from Australia to London Andrew Robertson and Fiona Griffin.

Rijsewijk joins from ING Bank where he hold several positions in New York, Amsterdam and London. More recently he was VP of Infrastructure Finance and Advisor for ING in London.

Humphrey was most recently at TradeRisks. He hold positions at KPMG, Lucida plc and Towe rand Watson before joining TradeRisks, where he was a Director of debt advisory.

Griffin is a managing director in the Macquarie Funds Group and head of risk for MIDIS. Robertson is a managing director in the Macquarie Funds Group and head of investor structuring and strategy.

Macquarie Group announced in November 2012 that it had been awarded a mandate to establish and manage an infrastructure debt portfolio for the leading global reinsurance and insurance provider, Swiss Re. The US$500 million mandate was the first to be secured by the new Macquarie Infrastructure Debt Investment Solutions (MIDIS) business.
