Katy Figgess
Investment Administrator
Manchester
What attracted you to a career in wealth management?
I joined Quilter Cheviot in 2016 after relocating back to Manchester from Leeds following university, where I graduated with a 2:1 in Sociology. Since joining Quilter Cheviot, I have completed my Introduction to Investment Management exam, and obtained my Investment Advice Diploma.
How do you approach your role on a daily basis?
My primary role at Quilter Cheviot is to provide support to the Investment Managers, assisting with the administration of investment portfolios on behalf of private clients, pensions, trusts and charities. I deal with general queries from clients, intermediaries, and financial advisers in relation to the portfolios we manage, ensuring that they receive the highest level of service.
What are your interests outside of work?
Outside of work, I have a passion for running and I attend a weekly running club. I like to sign up for and train for races - I am currently trying to increase my distance! I also enjoy reading, going for long walks or hikes, going on city breaks to new places, and spending time with friends and family.
