River and Mercantile Group has appointed former Cazenove fund manager Robin Minter-Kemp as non-executive director, following the group's merger with investment consultancy and solution provider P-Solve in February.

The arrival of the Minter-Kemp adds to a number of recent hires made by the firm, including Paul Bradshaw as group chairman and Kevin Hayes as chief financial officer.

Minter-Kemp has more than 25 years of experience in the fund management industry and held senior positions with Henderson Investors and HSBC Asset Management before joining Cazenove Fund Management in 2001.

While at Cazenove, he was instrumental in developing its specialised investment business, building external funds under management from £300 million to £6.5 billion ahead of the business acquisition by Schroders in July 2013.

“Robin’s significant experience and insight into the fund management industry will be invaluable to the Group as we continue to develop our growth strategy across a differentiated range of markets,” said chief executive Mike Faulkner.
