A mutual fund series trust shop recently expanded to 40 staff and counting after a key addition.

Kip Meadows, CEO of Nottingham, confirms that earlier this spring Pete McCabe joined the Rocky Mount, North Carolina-based firm as its first ever chief operating officer. On June 19 McCabe hired an old fund accounting and operations colleague, Jim Cino. Also on June 19, Meadows hired a new general counsel, Rob Schaaf, after Schaaf's predecessor moved to upstate New York. Nottingham works with about $26 billion in AUA.

"We're excited about all of them," Meadows tells MFWire.

Meadows has no immediate plans for further hiring, though he says he's "always on the lookout for somebody who's got a sales and marketing capability."

McCabe will have oversight of Nottingham's fund accounting, technology, and compliance arms. He moved to North Carolina from Pennsylvania. He previously served as senior vice president of investment company services at Command Financial Press. Prior to that he worked at BlackRock, Managers Funds, and Oppenheimer Capital. He is an alumnus of Long Island University.

Cino, now vice president and fund specialist at Nottingham, previously worked at ShelterRock Asset Management in the New York City area. Prior to that he worked at Command Financial, Managers Funds, Cinop, and American Data Services. He is an alumnus of Dowling College.
