Waverton Investment Management has hired Ian Enslin to work in its charities team.

He will report to James Pike, head of charities, and be responsible for managing segregated, multi-asset mandates for charity clients.

He joins from Newton Investment Management, where he managed similar strategies for charities and institutional investors. Ian previously worked for Barings and Invesco in a variety of roles including focusing on fixed income and running private client portfolios.

“There is a growing need for a highly-personalised investment service in the charities sector. We recognise this as a firm and are therefore focused on continuing to give our clients the opportunity to work directly with their portfolio managers,” said James Pike, head of charities. “Our charities clients will benefit significantly from Ian’s strategic thinking in the investment arena.”

In January, JO Hambro Investment Management rebranded as Waverton Investment Management. The change followed the sale of the business by Credit Suisse to Bermuda-based Somers Limited, which was then called Bermuda National Limited, and Johim Management in 2013.

Waverton has £4.5 billion ($7.5 billion) of assets under management.
