Ashburton Investments has bolstered its Distribution Team in the Channel Islands by appointing Timothy Townsend as Intermediary Distribution Executive.
Mr Townsend's focus will be on working with the intermediary and fiduciary markets in Jersey and Guernsey to open up access to Ashburton’s range of investment opportunities. His appointment bolsters Ashburton’s local distribution team, which is responsible for developing new and maintaining existing trust company and other intermediary business.
He brings with him over seven years’ experience in the international banking and wealth management industry with particular expertise in investment and portfolio management.
Educated in South Africa, post-studies Mr Townsend qualified as a Certified Financial Planner. He is also a Member of the Personal Finance Society and of the Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa.
Peter Bourne, Managing Director, Ashburton Investments Jersey, said: “Having previously worked for the international division of a large British bank servicing clients in South Africa and other emerging markets, Tim brings with him a comprehensive understanding of both our traditional Multi Asset investment range and emerging market global equity products, which we anticipate will be of benefit to the local intermediary and fiduciary community. Tim’s appointment clearly demonstrates our continued commitment to the needs of our Channel Island-based intermediary clients.”
Mr Townsend will be part of the Ashburton Investments’ team speaking at their Jersey Investment Briefings on 8 and 9 September at the Pomme d’Or Hotel, at which they will be exploring the theme, ‘The Quest for Global Growth’.
