Peter Lucas, who joined Jersey-based Rathbone Investment Management International, the offshore arm of London-listed Rathbone Brothers, in July from RBC Wealth Management, where he was head of opportunistic strategy, has been focusing on the fixed income element of offshore private client portfolios.

Both quantitative analysis and a qualitative element will play a role in three new global fixed income strategies: cash-plus, income and total return. They will be aimed at private clients where there is “sufficient and clear demand,” the firm told WealthBriefing.
