I have over 20 years experience as an investor and 15 years in fund management/investment research at tier-1 financial institutions. During my career I have gained significant experience through numerous market cycles and across asset classes. I believe that my experience, coupled with the extensive resources and expertise of St. James's Place, provides a solid foundation with which we can provide excellent financial advice to our clients.

My passion for investing started in my teens after being given a book on Warren Buffett and early successes (and a few failures) convinced me that this was to be my future career. Following completion of a post-graduate degree specialising in Investment Management, I joined a stockbroker in my native Johannesburg, South Africa, as an analyst before moving to London to build a career in my chosen field. My career in London started at Goldman Sachs as an equities analyst before moving to Fund Management at Barings Asset Management, having graduated from Sector Analyst to Portfolio Manager in 4 years. I was awarded the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter and became a member of the CFA Institute in 2011. I joined Mirabaud Asset Management in 2012, co-managing the Mirabaud Global Emerging Market equity funds, among others.

In 2020 I decided to take my career in a different direction, and so founded Northcliff Wealth Management as a Partner Practice of St. James's Place. My goal was to build up a wealth management business that focuses on delivering excellent investment and other financial outcomes for clients over the long term, whilst maintaining a strong relationship with the clients.

My desire is that clients should see Northcliff as a Partner in achieving their medium and longer-term financial objectives. I believe that this will be achieved if clients are confident in the professionalism, capability and integrity of the adviser. Clients also need comfort that the infrastructure, products and services available to them are of the highest standard and are constantly being reviewed and evolving as markets and technology change. This was a key aspect in the decision to become a representative of St. James's Place, given the breadth of offering, professionalism and standards the firm maintains.

I live in Surrey with my wife and two young children. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with the family, playing golf, trail running and I am an avid reader.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.
