Quartet Capital Partners, the recently launched Surrey-based discretionary wealth manager, has recruited Nigel Olliff, an investment manager, from Berry Asset Management.

Mr Olliff, who specialises in running private client portfolios as well as researching and analysing structured products, will join the firm in April.

Quartet Capital, which officially launched in the final quarter of last year, is a joint venture between Absolute Return Partners and Colin McInnes, formerly a board director at Berry Asset Management. Mr McInnes also brought on board Peter Butcher, who was previously an investment manager at Berry.

“He [Mr Olliff] is a talented investment manager and we are keen to utilise his client management skills as well as his knowledge of structured products, which is second to none,” Mr McInnes said in a statement.
