Hi, I’m Sandeep Singh, Head of Risk & Compliance at Opes Partners. My role is to ensure our team consistently delivers exceptional service and advice that meets all regulatory standards.
I’ve spent 20 years in New Zealand’s financial sector, working across major banks, insurance companies, and finance firms. For the past 12+ years, I’ve specialised in risk and compliance, implementing robust frameworks and reporting across various industries. Throughout my career, I’ve engaged with all key financial regulators - including the DIA, FMA, RBNZ, Commerce Commission, and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, so compliance and regulatory engagement are at the heart of what I do.
Academically, I hold a BCom in Finance & Economics, an Executive MBA, and a Master’s in Advanced Leadership Studies from Massey University. My next goal? A PhD in Risk & Compliance, further strengthening New Zealand’s financial sector and helping to protect Kiwis from bad actors.
Property investment runs deep in my whānau, and I firmly believe in the Opes way, as both an investor and a team member.
Outside of work, I’m a huge sports fan and a devoted All Blacks, Blues, Blackcaps, and (long-suffering) Warriors supporter rarely missing a home game. I’ve also been a freelance journalist for NZ Rugby Weekly, though I haven’t had much time to continue recently. If you ever see me at a stadium, chances are I’ll have a beer in hand - feel free to say hi!
