Alister Atack
Senior Investment Director
I specialise in working with financial advisers, helping to deliver tailored investment solutions to their clients. When taking on a new client, this requires a detailed discussion with the adviser to gain a clear understanding of the client's circumstances and needs, coupled with in-depth analysis of the costs, performance and risk characteristics of any existing investments. We then deliver bespoke, actively managed portfolios, which are tax-efficiently constructed across the various investment wrappers that the client has available, and focused on delivering strong risk-adjusted returns.

One of my aims is to help my clients understand the process I undertake to look after their wealth, which creates relationships built on long-term trust. Firstly, a bespoke investment strategy is created based on a client's unique requirements including their personal circumstances, objectives, knowledge, experience and attitude to risk. Secondly, the level of income or capital growth which could be potentially achieved will depend on how much risk the client is prepared to take and how well markets perform. The right strategy will balance potential risks with potential return. Whatever the clients investment objectives, the greater the return that is sought, the more risk is taken.

Senior Investment Director
I specialise in working with financial advisers, helping to deliver tailored investment solutions to their clients. When taking on a new client, this requires a detailed discussion with the adviser to gain a clear understanding of the client's circumstances and needs, coupled with in-depth analysis of the costs, performance and risk characteristics of any existing investments. We then deliver bespoke, actively managed portfolios, which are tax-efficiently constructed across the various investment wrappers that the client has available, and focused on delivering strong risk-adjusted returns.
Elizabeth Beeby

I’m responsible for the day-to-day management of portfolios for private individuals, private limited companies, trusts, charities and pension clients. I have a particular interest in environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations within investment management and manage a number of bespoke portfolios for clients with specific ethical preferences. I also actively engage in the Group’s investment process, sitting on the Equity Collectives Committee.
David Black
Investment Director
I am part of the team in the Leeds office that manages portfolios on behalf of individuals, trusts, charities, solvency II clients and self-invested pension plans (SIPPs), as well as dealing with investments held within offshore bond wrappers. I always seek to deliver a high level of client service by creating tailored and bespoke investment solutions, and building long lasting relationships along the way. This also involves working closely with other professional advisers, including independent financial advisers, solicitors and accountants.
George Carlton
Senior Associate - Wealth Planning
I provide holistic financial planning advice and manage multi-asset portfolios as part of our Wealth Planning service to a range of private clients, families and trusts. By focussing on each client’s goals and aspirations as a starting point, I am able to create bespoke financial plans and investment strategies built around tax-efficient structures and principles. Frequently strategies are put in place to build wealth over time, plan for income during retirement or to ensure hard earned assets can be passed effectively and tax efficiently between generations over time. The strategies that are agreed upon are kept under regular review and adapted as circumstances, legislation and the investment environment evolve.

Within the team my particular focus is on larger clients including those who require greater overseas equity exposure.

Rowena Houston
Divisional Director
My primary role is to help my clients plan for and achieve their long term financial goals. I work in conjunction with financial advisers as well as other professionals to ensure that the structure is tax efficient and delivers what the client needs. I then put together a suitable investment structure and monitor this on an ongoing basis. Some of the frequent structures I help with include retirement planning, inheritance tax planning and tax efficient investments such as ISA’s, as well as trusts and company investments. In addition, I look after a number of clients based overseas, especially in South Africa, and I am also head of the Leeds office managing a team of investment professionals.
David Kirkby
Senior Investment Director
I invest on a bespoke basis for individuals, pension funds, charities, trusts and clients of financial advisers, seeking the best and most tax-efficient returns on capital at all times. One of my aims is to help my clients understand the process I undertake to look after their wealth, which creates relationships built on long-term trust. Firstly, a bespoke investment strategy is created based on a client's unique requirements including their personal circumstances, objectives, knowledge, experience and attitude to risk. Secondly, the level of income or capital growth which could be potentially achieved will depend on how much risk the client is prepared to take and how well markets perform. The right strategy will balance potential risks with potential return. Whatever the clients investment objectives, the greater the return that is sought, the more risk is taken.
Jonathan Marsden
Senior Investment Director
I am responsible for advising my clients on how to manage their wealth to achieve their financial objectives. I create and implement tailored wealth management plans based on each client's individual circumstances, requirements and financial goals. Predominantly, I work with business owners and their families, pre and post exit, to help them grow and protect their wealth. This often means working in partnership with my client's accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers to ensure my clients are managing their overall wealth tax efficiently. I also work closely with my colleagues in the research team, financial planning team and a number of independent financial advisers, to provide the best possible solutions. In addition, I work closely with colleagues in our banking division who provide private banking and corporate advisory services.
