Duncan MacIntyre reports an outstanding year, having seen a more than 50 per cent increase in AUM, as well as strong growth in all four ‘principal pillars’ of Lombard Odier in the UK: new markets, Europe, UK and external asset managers, all operating on Lombard Odier’s proprietary technology platform: ‘It’s probably one of the most advanced private client platforms in the marketplace.’

An investment manager with 17 years’ experience in wealth management and private equity under his belt, Charles Costa Duarte still finds working with UHNW clients ‘unbelievably interesting’.

Michael Parsons is a client-facing CEO at Wren. Founded in 2016, the firm is also backed by WE Family Offices in the US and MdF Family Partners, one of the leading independent multi-family offices in continental Europe.

A senior private banker at Citi since 2005, Giles Crowe focuses on the UK onshore and offshore UHNW market. His 30-year career has included spells at Coutts, Merrill Lynch and Barclays Private Bank. ‘My clients are generally highly successful entrepreneurs and their families who tend to utilise the full breadth of the Citi platform from core discretionary portfolios to opportunistic trading strategies with our capital markets team in an advisory capacity,’ he says.

Guy Paterson is the quintessential ‘client partner’ who is able to offer ‘nimble, client-focused and conflict-free’ advice to the growing number of entrepreneurial UK families he looks after.
