The firm was formed by the Canadian firm's takeover of Brewin Dolphin a year ago.

UK wealth management house RBC Brewin Dolphin has appointed Richard Betts as wealth director. He is based at the firm’s Waterloo Place office in St James’s, London.

Betts joined the firm – created from RBC’s purchase of Brewin Dolphin in September 2022 – from J Safra Sarasin. 

Prior to this, Betts worked as a director at Standard Chartered and had a lengthy career at HSBC Private Bank. In total, Betts has been employed in the sector for more than 25 years, working with high net worth and ultra-HNW clients, both domestic UK and international.

The firm’s team has grown to 65 employees, from 15 at its launch in 2018.
