UK Private Bank Tight-Lipped On Director Departure

The director is the second to leave the bank this year.
UK-based private bank Coutts has declined to
comment on media reports stating director of fund research and
investment strategy, Minesh Gajjar, has left the company.
WealthBriefing does not know yet who will replace
Gajjar as director of fund research and investment strategy.
Gajjar joined Coutts in 2013, and was responsible for fund
selection for private client portfolios. He was also a member of
the private bank’s investment strategy team.
He has 10 years of fund manager research and selection and
portfolio management experience, after spending the previous
seven years in a variety of financial roles including at ABN
Amro, then FTSE Group, where he helped develop index
products.
This is potentially the second Coutts director to have left the
bank this year. Mark Winterburn left the bank to join Julius Baer
in April.
