Charles Stanley poaches Standard Life Wealth's Hippolite to lead sales drive

The wealth manager has brought Hippolite in as head of asset management development and tasked him with increasing the sales of its managed portfolio service on third-party platforms.

Hippolite, who will report into head of intermediary sales Steve Hill, headed up Standard Life Wealth's international business development before joining Charles Stanley.

John Porteous, group head of distribution at Charles Stanley, said Hippolite had "an exemplary track record of working with ultra-high-net-worth clients, IFAs, professional intermediaries and trustees".

"He is ideally placed to help us continue building our relationships with strategic partners, regional IFAs and platform providers," Porteous added.

"His appointment reflects our strategy to grow in the professional intermediaries market where we have a reputation of providing a genuine personal service in a market which is increasingly becoming standardised."

Hippolite had previously worked for Kleinwort Benson, Credit Suisse Asset Management, Coutts and Abbey National Offshore.

Charles Stanley has been busy bulking up its intermediary sales team this year, with a raft of other key hires made in 2019.
