Investment - Articles - Redington announce promotion of David Bennett

 Redington’s David Bennett has been promoted to a newly created role of Head of Investment Consulting with immediate effect. David was previously Managing Director in the Investment Consulting team and has been running a portfolio of clients for Redington since January 2010.

 As the firm grows its employee and client base, the new position creates a dedicated structure for the governance of all investment consulting services, allowing Co-CEOs and Co-Founders, Robert Gardner and Dawid Konotey-Ahulu, to focus on the strategic side of the business. Bennett will continue to report into Gardner and Konotey-Ahulu and maintain his role as lead investment consultant, while managing the rest of the 16-strong investment consulting team. Now in its seventh year, the firm has grown to over 50 employees and advises clients with assets in excess of £230bn, including nine of the largest 25 pension funds in the UK.

 Speaking about the promotion, Robert Gardner said:

 “David has a wealth of experience not just in risk management, but in translating the Redington ethos into outstanding client relationships. His leadership of investment consulting is a natural progression that will benefit our clients by bringing greater structure and process – and therefore more effective teamwork – to the consulting team as it grows.”

 Dawid Konotey-Ahulu said:

 “David’s understated approach combines with 35 years of experience to make him an extraordinarily able consultant. He is superb.”

 David Bennett said:

 “I’m delighted to be asked to lead a growing, vibrant and motivated team that’s brimming with potential and enthusiasm for our task at hand: to design, develop and deliver investment strategies that help our clients to reach their goals.”
