UK Wealth Sector Veteran Nick Tucker Retires

With a career including work at UBS, Merrill Lynch and Waverton Investment Management, Tucker is retiring, rounding out more than 40 years in the financial services industry.

Former Waverton Investment Management CEO Nick Tucker has retired from his role as a non-executive director at W1IM Wealth Management – formed from Waverton’s merger last July with London & Capital.

Tucker’s retirement draws the curtain on a financial career spanning more than four decades. Tucker spent almost a decade at UBS, more than 23 years at Merrill Lynch, and most recently more than four years as CEO at Waverton Investment Management. 

When Waverton merged with London & Capital, Tucker was a NED with the combined organisation.

“I am immensely proud to have played my part in bringing together Waverton and London & Capital to create W1M. The firm’s unique proposition as one home for wealth and investment management is being led by truly talented individuals, all of whom I have greatly enjoyed working with over the last five years,” Tucker said. 

On his Linkedin page, Tucker wrote: “It is with a great sense of pride, joy, and a little trepidation that I call time on my executive career in wealth management. It has been an amazing 40 years and I have been lucky to work with many great people over the years.” 

“Without Nick’s dedication, leadership and vision, our landmark merger would not have been possible. I would like to thank him personally for his tireless and invaluable efforts in laying the groundwork for W1M’s long-term success. We all wish him a richly deserved, long and happy retirement,” Guy McGlashan, CEO of W1M, added.
