Rathbones poaches Newton and Barings directors

Rathbones has further expanded its team of investor directors with the appointment of Peter Anwyl-Harris and James Brennan.

Anwyl-Harris joins from Newton where he managed for portfolios for private clients, trusts and charities.

Brennan joins from Barings where he focused on the firm's charity business. Previously he worked for Collins Stewart, CCLA Investment Management, and Coutts, where he managed charity and private client portfolios.

Anwyl-Harris and Brennan's appointments follow the hire this week of Peter Lucas, who joined from RBC Wealth management. In addition, Chris Ray and Jonathan Hill have both joined Rathbones as investment directors over the past few months.

"Their appointment reflects our continuing success and growth as well as the on-going attractiveness of the services we offer," said Richard Smeeton, Rathbones' head of London investment management.

"Clients at Rathbones can expect direct contact with their investment manager and a portfolio that is bespoke to their individual investment requirements," he added.
