The Bristol-based discretionary investment firm, together
with senior fund manager Joe Dyer, and colleagues Helen Parry and Claire Hudd
have commenced employment. They will later be joined by portfolio manager James
Gardner and head of equity research and co- founder of Rowan Dartington, Mark
Sevier. RCBIM, has seen rapid growth in its private client offering
over the last few years and as such, has set up a separate division to support
the new team which will provide differentiated and independent investment
solutions. This includes flexible, risk conscious bespoke investment
propositions that draw on direct equities as well as collectives expertise. According to RCBIM chairman, Bob Brown, the firm first
approached the team three years ago, when they opted in to stay with Rowan
Dartington. However, serving the same key market in Bristol, the “Signature” team has now joined
the former rivals at RCBIM.
