- Head of Wealth Management, Guernsey
My key responsibility is providing leadership to the Portfolio Management and Stockbroking teams in Guernsey. I advise, and actively manage portfolios, for a diverse range of individuals, trustees, family offices, professional intermediaries, captive insurance, fund and Government entities on strategies to achieve their investment goals. My aim is to improve our client's knowledge, understanding and access to financial investments in order to ultimately help investors grow their wealth with confidence.
At a more strategic level, I am also a member of the firm's International Executive Committee and Divisional Risk Committee. In this role I contribute to the development of our international business strategy and operational resilience.
My investment career started with a bang; the week of the Asian Crisis in July 1997. It has been intriguing and eventful ever since; an endless journey of learning. None more so than during my 8 years as an Associate Director/Fund Manager at HSBC Global Asset Management. Crucially, this involved dealing with ultra-high net worth Asian families and a Sovereign Wealth Fund as clients through the boom/bust cycle of 'the noughties'.
Chris is Head of M&A in Europe and has substantial experience advising clients on a diverse range of M&A and equity transactions in both public and private markets across the business services sector. Prior to joining us, he worked at Lloyds Merchant Bank and Deloittes. Chris holds a BA degree in Economics and Accounting, from Bristol University.

- Head of Stockbroking, Guernsey
Having been interested in financial markets from an early age (I think my first purchase was British Airports Authority (BAA) at aged 14), I jumped at the chance of joining the company graduate scheme on my return to the island following University and a ski season in Chamonix. After spending time working in various departments, I felt my skills were best suited to stockbroking and joined the desk in 2006.
I have been Head of the Guernsey stockbroking desk since 2012. Certain aspects have changed greatly, such as the systems we use and market infrastructure, however, the general nature of markets, our commitment to client service and the protection of client assets remains the same as ever. I count myself very lucky to be working in a team of committed professionals, using a world-class platform, and with an enviable client base. I have never been more excited about the firm's future than I am today.
