Rathbone Investment Management (Rathbones), one of the UK's largest discretionary investment management companies, is to strengthen its presence in Scotland through a new office opening in Aberdeen on Monday 8 February. The team includes John Henderson, formerly head of Rathbones' Edinburgh office, and two former Brewin Dolphin investment directors - Norman Law and Meera Dennis.
"We are excited to be bringing an on-the-ground presence to Aberdeen to serve both existing and, we hope, new clients," commented John Henderson. "Norman and Meera will play an important role in growing our business and given that our offering to clients is based on providing an excellent level of service, we are also pleased to be adding Becky Murray and Suzi Hagan to the team to support us."
Rathbones manages investment portfolios for over 30,000 private clients, charities and trustees from a network of 11 offices in the UK including Edinburgh, the largest Rathbones office outside London1.
"Our offices in Scotland account for more than 10% of the firm's funds under management and they have grown rapidly in recent years, most recently with the business transferring under an agreement reached with Lloyds last year with regards to its former Bank of Scotland portfolio management clients. The rate at which these clients agreed to move to Rathbones and the goodwill we have encountered amongst them, only increases our belief that what we have to offer is very attractive to individuals. Our clients want their investments managed on a bespoke basis by professionals that they have a relationship with and confidence in," commented Rathbone Brothers chief executive Andy Pomfret.
