Rathbone Investment Management International (Rathbones) has today announced the appointment of Peter Lucas as investment director.
Peter has over 20 years experience running discretionary investment portfolios and specialises in fixed income, absolute return and active investment management. Whilst Peter's career started in 1987 he joins Rathbones from RBC Wealth Management where he was head of opportunistic strategy. He specialised in fixed income for 17 years, initially with Quilters, and then for Ashburton (where he was global investment strategist) having managed their conservative Cash and Fixed Income funds.
"Peter's appointment is a reflection of both ongoing client requirements and the continued expansion of our Jersey office" said Jonathan Giles, managing director of Rathbone Investment Management International.
"His vast experience and passion for active fixed income management, along with his commitment to providing high quality investment services, makes him the perfect addition to Rathbones' already strong private client offering" Jonathan concluded.
Commenting on his appointment, Peter said, "Rathbones is a name synonymous with quality, integrity and service. There are very few independently-owned, British businesses with the heritage of Rathbones left, and I am delighted to be joining its team in Jersey.
"I join Rathbones at a really interesting time: Bond yields are high relative to cash but low relative to their range of the past thirty years, presenting investors with a real dilemma. Furthermore, Governments are deeply in debt and Central Banks are engaging in some pretty unorthodox policies. There is money to be made, but only for those that are nimble and alert. I look forward to using my skills and knowledge to help guide clients through this challenging environment".
