Cazenove Capital Management, the UK-based independent asset manager, has appointed Niall Kennedy as a director at its Edinburgh office to meet increasing demand for private client and charity portfolios.

In his new role, Kennedy will manage private client and charity portfolios, working alongside fellow directors Sandy Dudgeon, Peter Hillier and Richard Onslow.

Prior to joining Cazenove, Kennedy worked at Adam & Co, the Edinburgh-based private bank, as an investment director for five years, before which he served as a fund manager for Cazenove in London for 18 years.  

“Niall joins Cazenove at an ambitious time for our business in Edinburgh, following the successful merger with Thornhill earlier this year. We are delighted to welcome someone of Niall's experience who will help us in our aim to develop significantly our presence in Edinburgh," said Andrew Ross, chief executive at Cazenove.
