The UK-based firm has expanded its team of investment managers with a private client-focused role.

Hargreave Hale has hired Nigel Rosner as an investment manager in London to look after the firm's private client mandates.

Rosner joins from Charles Stanley where he was a private client advisor for over 20 years. He previously held roles at Raphael Zorn Hemsley, Société Générale and Guy Puckle Stockbrokers. 

The appointment to the newly-created position follows that of Karen Smith. Smith joined Hargreave's Worcester office last month as an investment manager.

Hargreave Hale provides discretionary investment management and stockbroking services to private clients, intermediaries, corporates, charities and trusts. The firm manages over £5 billion ($7 billion) in assets from nine offices across the UK.
