What attracted you to a career in wealth management?
My career in wealth management has been shaped by over 15 years of delivering tailored discretionary investment management services to private clients, charities, and professional intermediaries. With a strong commitment to robust investment processes and high levels of client service, I've honed my skills as a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Securities and Investment. This journey was driven by my passion for providing personalized investment solutions and the desire to make a positive impact on clients' financial success.
How do you approach your role on a daily basis?
In my role, I work closely with financial advisers, lawyers, and accountants to offer bespoke investment management services. With over a decade of experience managing discretionary multi-asset portfolios, I invest in UK and international equities, fixed interest, and alternatives. Regular communication, tailored strategies, and a strong focus on clients' unique objectives help them achieve their financial goals. The opportunity to provide these services in a client-facing role is what drew me to this field.
What are your interests outside of work?
Beyond my professional interests, I am a trustee for the Sarum St Michael Educational Charity, contributing to the community's educational well-being. In my personal life, I relish outdoor activities like hiking and camping, which provide a refreshing escape. Staying active is a priority, whether it's exploring the great outdoors or enjoying physical fitness routines, which helps me maintain a balanced lifestyle.
