Brodie, who joined FNZ two months ago as deputy group head of FNZ UK according to his LinkedIn profile, brings more than 15 years’ executive experience in the financial services industry. Most recently, he served as chief operating officer at Rathbones Group, a UK wealth and asset management group, with prior leadership roles at Aberdeen and Barclays, the firm said in a statement.

Brodie’s appointment reflects FNZ’s aim of strengthening leadership capability in its largest market, supporting the evolution of the UK business. Over the past five years, FNZ’s UK business has grown assets on platform by 88 per cent.

Alastair Conway, former group head of FNZ UK, will transition to a new executive role as vice chairman of FNZ Client Coverage.

“His  appointment builds on the ongoing strengthening of our team and positions us to continue to deliver outsized growth for our clients through our platform, while continuing to strengthen trust with key stakeholders,” Roman Regelman, group president of FNZ, said.

“We’re immensely thankful to Alastair for his leadership of the UK business over the last five years, during which time the UK has delivered significant growth,” Regelman added. “I’m delighted that, in his new role, his deep sector expertise and experience will be deployed more broadly with clients, adding further depth and strength at a global level.”

“The opportunity for FNZ to continue transforming the wealth management industry has never been greater,” Conway said.

“I’m looking forward to building on the progress achieved in the UK and continuing to strengthen how we execute for clients as we evolve our go-to-market proposition,” Brodie added.
