Close Brothers Asset Management has further strengthened its senior high-net worth investment team in Scotland with the appointment of Christopher Godfrey-Faussett to the role of Managing Director.
Based in Edinburgh, he will enhance the HNW investment management capability of the team, supporting the ongoing expansion of CBAM’s presence in Scotland.
Godfrey-Faussett has twenty-seven years experience in financial services, managing investments for private clients, trusts and charities. He joined the Rathbones London office as an investment director in March 2001, before moving to the Edinburgh office in April 2005. He is a member of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment.
The announcement is the latest in a series of strategic hirings by CBAM, which has included the appointment of six HNW investment managers to support the growth of its HNW Bespoke offering.
Martin Andrew, Chief Executive of Close Brothers Asset Management said: “The expansion of our footprint in Scotland is a key part of the strategic growth plans for our high net worth business. Enhancing the breadth of our investment management team with the appointment of select, high quality individuals is central to this. Christopher will be a hugely valuable addition to our team as we expand our proposition and our client base.”
