Alan McIntosh (main picture) has rejoined Quilter Cheviot as chief investment officer for Quilter Cheviot Europe, subject to regulatory approval.

McIntosh will be based in Dublin and will report into Quilter Cheviot Europe’s chief executive, Andrew Fahy.

Most recently, McIntosh was chief investment strategist at the parent company, Quilter Cheviot, where he served for 18 years, and planned to retire last year after the arrival of Caroline Simmons as chief investment officer at the firm.

However, McIntosh is returning after the unexpected death in early 2025 of Quilter Cheviot Europe’s chief investment officer, Donnacha Fox, the firm said in a statement yesterday.

“In response to the tragic and unexpected news of Donnacha’s passing at the beginning of the year, we have been thinking long and hard about how best to appoint a successor as CIO,” Andrew Fahy, chief executive at Quilter Cheviot Europe, said.

“We are incredibly grateful and pleased to have Alan join Quilter Cheviot Europe and we are looking forward to him being a key member of the team here in Dublin. Alan has remained keenly focused on investment markets since stepping down this time last year, and critically he knows our investment process and local marketplace well,” Fahy said.
