Roberts will report to Stephen Rothwell, head of private wealth management, Kleinwort Benson said in a statement. Roberts has previously worked at Rothschild for 10 years, and before that, held a number of roles at JP Morgan Private Bank, Fleming Private Asset Management and Montagu Loebl Stanley.

“He brings huge experience and expertise in wealth structuring, family governance and investment management for complex UHNW families, which will be invaluable as we continue to develop and grow Kleinwort Benson’s Private Wealth Management business,” Rothwell said.

His appointment follows those of Andrew Wheeler as executive director, business development, Valentina Tacchino as head of private wealth management international and Clive Wright as head of offshore private wealth management.
