London advice firm hires ex-Brooks Macdonald director as CIO

Former Brooks Macdonald director and head of multi-asset Jonathan Webster-Smith has joined London-based Bowmore Asset Management as managing director and chief funding officer (CIO).

Webster-Smith (pictured) joined the funding administration and monetary planning firm after spending 20 years at Brooks Macdonald as a trainee funding supervisor and later its director and head of multi-asset.

Webster-Smith can even be part of the board of the Bowmore Wealth Group, which is the mum or dad firm of Bowmore Asset Management.

Bowmore Asset Management was established in 2014. The firm informed New Model Adviser it desires to broaden by way of the acquisition of economic advice and fund administration companies within the coming years.  

‘Webster-Smith’s intensive trade information and funding expertise from his time at Brooks Macdonald makes him a wonderful match to change into our new CIO,’ stated Mark Incledon, chief govt of Bowmore Wealth Group.

According to Webster-Smith, the small measurement of Bowmore attracted him to the function. ‘Bigger corporations have change into complacent and commoditised, which presents corporations like Bowmore with a big alternative,’ he stated.
