Recommended HNW Wealth Managers

Nicola Barber, who joined Hambro in 2012, tells Spear’s that plans are in place to double the bank’s AuM in the next 3-4 years.

‘It comes down to the belief that you can offer a boutique service and a high-quality investment process with conviction and passion,’ says the head of charities, pointing to a changing scene where larger investment houses are merging, leaving clients feeling uncertain.

Although Hambro is growing, Barber is emphatic that its ethos is to deliver a bespoke service by limiting the number of clients per manager. ‘As a client I want to know who is managing my money: I want to be able to pick up the phone to them directly,’ she says.
