Lincoln Private Investment Office Adds To Advisory Board

Two senior figures in the UK wealth and asset management fields have joined the private investment office.

One of the most prominent figures in the UK wealth and asset management sector, Martin Gilbert (main picture), has joined the advisory board of Lincoln Private Investment Office, it said yesterday. The firm has also appointed Philip Byrne (pictured below) to the board. He is another senior figure in the financial sector, having served in roles such as CIO of Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management Europe.

Gilbert, who co-founded Aberdeen Asset Management and was CEO of that business for 34 years, was at the helm when it merged with Standard Life in 2017. Until November 2019 Gilbert was chairman of the UK’s Prudential Regulation Authority’s Practitioner Panel, and was deputy chairman of Sky plc until 2019. 

Byrne's career history has included 15 years’ experience at Cantor Fitzgerald and he served as a vice chairman at the investment banking and wealth management businesses of UBS, Lincoln said in a statement.
