Rathbones has appointed James Hall and Daniel Curtis as investment directors from Cazenove Capital, to work in the Investment Management division supporting IFAs, private clients, trusts, and charities.

Hall is a chartered fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments (Chartered FCSI) and is a specialist in structured products, which he led at Cazenove. He worked at Cazenove for 18 years in private client portfolio management in senior roles and previously worked for Schroders and BNY Mellon.

Curtis, also a Chartered FCSI, focuses on managing investment portfolios for private clients, trusts, and charities, and worked at Cazenove for nearly 12 years in a range of senior portfolio management roles. He started his career at Brewin Dolphin as an assistant investment manager in its Newcastle office.

Matthew Woodrow, head of London at Rathbones Investment Management, commented: “Welcoming James and Daniel to Rathbones marks an exciting step in our ongoing growth strategy. Their proven expertise and commitment to client service will further strengthen our team and help us deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients.”

The appointments follow Rathbones’ announcement in December that it was adding an Asia ex-Japan fund to its Sicav range domiciled in Luxembourg.

Tom Carroll, CEO, Rathbones Asset Management, said at the time that the new fund formed part of the provider’s growth plans to launch into other areas of the market.

Rathbones manages some £113bn of client assets, of which £16.3bn by its asset management arm, Rathbones Asset Management.
