Cazenove Capital Management, the London-based independent asset manager, has expanded its team with the appointment of Jonathon Simmons as a desk-based UK advisory sales consultant for the North, a newly-created position.

Mr Simmons joins the firm’s advisory sales team from Prudential, where he was an account manager within the intermediary distribution team. In his new London-based role he will be responsible for working with intermediaries based in northern England with whom Cazenove has an existing relationship, and also for growing this network. He will report to Robert Thorpe, director of UK advisory sales at Cazenove Capital.

“[Mr Simmons'] experience both at Prudential and previously at Invesco Perpetual will be welcomed as Cazenove Capital’s funds business continues to grow across the UK as clients recognise the strength of our fund offering,” said Mr Thorpe. 

In January Cazenove also appointed Louis Greening as a desk-based UK advisory sales consultant and Simon Cooper as head of business development for its private wealth management division.
