Quilter has revealed its dedicated multi-asset business will rebrand to Quilter Investors at the end of June 2018, as the business also announced a number of appointments to the senior management team.  

The Quilter Investors range, including Cirilium, Generation, Creation and the sub-advised funds included within the WealthSelect Managed Portfolio Service, will adopt the new Quilter brand.

Quilter Investors will be the first business unit within Quilter plc to adopt the new brand, after the Old Mutual Wealth-owned group company changed its name to Quilter plc, in March.

Joining chief executive Paul Simpson on the executive committee, Anthony Gillham will continue to lead the multi-asset investment desk as head of investments.

Dean Bowden has been appointed chief commercial officer; Anita Masih has been appointed head of HR and Mitchell Dean has been appointed to the dual role of COO/CFO. 

New chief risk officer Fiona Woodhouse completed the executive committee, having previously been with Janus Henderson.

Reporting to the committee, Daniella Johnston has joined from Aberdeen Standard Investments as head of marketing; Alex Risby has joined from Royal London Asset Management as head of IT; Matt Leary, from Brown Advisory as head of operations; Maziar Alamouti from Agilis Investment Management as head of dealing; and

Shawn Rea and Deborah Nash have become head of finance and head of legal respectively, joining from OMGI.

Quilter Investors oversees £17.1bn in client assets and has grown funds under management by 30% year on year.

The new brand will come into effect over the weekend of 29 June to 2 July.

Paul Simpson, chief executive of Quilter Investors, said: “As Quilter Investors, we will continue to pursue our objectives of delivering institutional quality investment management for the retail market.

“Since establishing the dedicated multi-asset investment business, in 2017, we have been able to recruit a highly talented team to support the already well-established investment desk, and I’m delighted with the calibre of the individuals we have been able to bring in.”
