Quilter, the UK-based investment management subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, has appointed Damien Maltwood as an investment manager in its Jersey office.

In his new role Maltwood will be working alongside Tim Childe, head of Quilter’s Jersey branch, the firm said in a statement.

Maltwood was latterly a senior investment manager at SG Hambros, having earlier in his career worked at The Soditic Group, based in Jersey.

Maltwood’s hire follows two other recent Jersey-based appointments: that of Jason Stolte as investment manager and Chris Scott as regional sales manager.

In other expansionary moves, last month the firm opened a new office in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
