Reporting to head of charities, William Reid, she has joined from tax recovery specialists WTax, where she worked as head of partnerships. Osato has also worked in the asset management industry at Anchor Capital, where she began her career as an equity research analyst, before progressing to portfolio manager, the firm said in a statement.

Quilter Cheviot’s charities team currently provides investment services to over 650 charitable organisations and since 2020 has run the Quilter Cheviot Global Income & Growth Fund for Charities. The charity authorised investment fund invests across all assets and is designed to make accessing investments for charities less onerous and costly.

Osato’s hire follows other recent appointments at Quilter Cheviot, including that of Oswald Oduntan, who joined the Managed Portfolio Service team as an investment manager in March, the firm said.
