The London-based boutique Vestra Wealth has appointed Neil Williams – latterly of Matrix Group – as an investment manager to serve the firm’s high and ultra high net worth clients.

Williams was one of the team which Matrix brought in from Ansbacher and Co to establish its private client investment team and while at Matrix he managed a variety of such portfolios, providing discretionary, advisory and execution only investment services to private clients, charities, trustees and family offices.

Vestra, which was founded by ex-UBS employee David Scott in 2008, currently has some £1.8 billion (around $2.84 billion) in assets under management.
