Swiss & Global Asset Management, the exclusive manager of Julius Baer funds, has appointed David Shanks to its UK distribution team. Shanks joins Swiss & Global AM’s London based team as associate director, discretionary sales, to support the growth of its offering for the UK discretionary wealth management sector.
He will report to Keith Rumbelow, head of UK sales, and promote Swiss & Global’s product range to wealth managers in London, the Channel Isles and the Isle of Man, as well as to multi-managers, fund of funds and insurance companies.
Shanks joins from BNY Mellon, where he worked for six years, most recently as a business development executive targeting the UK wholesale market.
Rumbelow says: “David’s appointment is testament to the importance of the UK market to Swiss & Global and is part of the continued development of our offering for discretionary wealth managers. Our diverse fund range provides investors with an array of fixed income and equity strategies, including specialist products based on our expertise in emerging markets, absolute return and thematic investing. The expansion of the London sales team will help us to extend our client base and enhance client relationships across the UK.”
