Rathbone Investment Management (Rathbones), one of the UK's largest and longest-established providers of high quality, personalised investment management services for private investors, is opening an office in Birmingham for the first time.
Investment directors Mark Atherton and Daniel Faulkner are spearheading the move, having joined Rathbones from Citi Quilter. Investment manager Sally-Ann Gallier has also been hired from Barclays Wealth to join the team.
"There are few truly independent, British private client investment management firms of any real size left, many of our competitors having passed into the hands of large international banks. Many private clients have borne the brunt of associated staff movements and service and fee changes. We hope that the quality and stability of the Rathbones name will attract investment professionals and clients alike in Birmingham and the surrounding area," commented Mark Atherton.
Daniel Faulkner continued: "We will be offering genuinely bespoke investment solutions and discretionary portfolio management services to clients and their professional advisers."
"We are delighted that three high calibre individuals have agreed to join us and lead our expansion into Birmingham and the Midlands," commented Rathbones' director Andrew Morris.
Rathbones will be based at Temple Point, Temple Row, Birmingham. Contact: email: birmingham@rathbones.com or web: www.rathbones.com.
