UK wealth manager Quilter, formerly Old Mutual Wealth, has confirmed its multi-asset business will rebrand to Quilter Investors at the end of June 2018. The firm has also made a number of appointments to its senior management team.

Quilter Investors' range of solutions, including Cirilium, Generation, Creation and the sub-advised funds included within the WealthSelect Managed Portfolio Service, will all adopt the new Quilter brand.

Quilter Investors will be the first business unit within Quilter to adopt the new brand, after the group company name changed to Quilter in March. The new brand comes into effect over the weekend of 29 June to 2 July.

Appointments
Anthony Gilham will join chief executive Paul Simpson on the executive committee. Gillham will continue to lead the multi-asset investment desk as head of investments.

Dean Bowden has been appointed chief commercial officer. Anita Masih has been appointed head of human resources and Mitchell Dean has been appointed to the dual role of chief operating officer and chief financial officer. They all join the executive committee.

Fiona Woodhouse has been appointed new chief risk officer and also joins the executive committee. She joins the firm from Janus Henderson.

Reporting to the executive committee, Daniella Johnston joins from Aberdeen Standard Investments as head of marketing; Alex Risby joins from Royal London Asset Management as head of IT; Matt Leary joins from Brown Advisory as head of operations; Maziar Alamouti will join from Agilis Investment Management as head of dealing; and Shawn Rea and Deborah Nash become head of finance and head of legal respectively, joining from OMGI.

In September 2017, this publication reported that Old Mutual Wealth announced that it would create a dedicated multi-asset investment business, as it planned to spin-off from Old Mutual.

Old Mutual Wealth ; Old Mutual International; Intrinsic; Old Mutual Wealth Private Client Advisers; and Old Mutual Wealth Financial Adviser School will adopt the Quilter brand over the course of the phased rebranding. Quilter Cheviot and AAM Advisory will retain their names.
