Wealth manager and Financial Planner Quilter has added three new investment directors to its team to provide more support to financial advisers.

Ryan Medlock and Filipo Madonia both join from Royal London while Nick Davison has arrived from Liontrust.

Mr Medlock was a senior investment development manager at Royal London, where he worked with advisers to provide technical support, as well as providing external insight into the development of the investment proposition.

Filipo Madonia worked for Royal London’s asset management arm as a business development manager with responsibility for building the brand among financial advisers and discretionary fund managers in Scotland. He has carried out similar roles for the likes of M&G, Prudential and Friends Provident.

Nick Davison was a regional sales manager for Liontrust, working across the North of England and Northern Ireland promoting Liontrust’s multi-asset and sustainable fund ranges. A former financial adviser, Mr Davison has more than 25 years’ experience in the industry having previously worked for the likes of HSBC, RBS, Architas and Axa.

All three will report into lead investment director Andy Miller and be responsible for promoting Quilter’s investment solutions, such as the WealthSelect Managed Portfolio Service and the Cirilium portfolio range.

Andy Miller said: “Ryan, Fillipo and Nick all have the skillset to communicate clearly with advisers, support them with regards to their investment advice process, and provide quality market insights.

“With Consumer Duty now firmly embedded into the industry, it is vital that advisers are given the tools and support required in order to communicate their value to clients and have faith that the investments will deliver.”

Quilter Investors has been expanding its investment communication capabilities recently. In November it hired Lindsay James to the newly-created role of investment strategist where she represents the firm’s investment views externally with advisers, clients and the media. 

As it approaches its ten-year anniversary in February, Quilter’s WealthSelect has achieved asset growth of 28% according to Next Wealth’s latest MPS Proposition Comparison Report. Meanwhile, within the Cirilium range, Cirilium Blend approaches its five-year anniversary in July and has so far amassed assets of over £2.6bn.
