Schroders Wealth Management Overhauls Leadership Team
Schroders Wealth Management is reshaping its executive ranks, installing a wave of industry veterans to sharpen its focus on high-net-worth clients and global family offices. The firm, currently managing £123.9 billion in assets, is positioning itself for a new era of growth through these high-profile leadership appointments.
The firm is also expanding its regional expertise, hiring Neil De Sousa from HSBC Global Private Banking to lead operations in the Middle East and Geneva. These appointments follow the recent creation of a Global Family Office and Wealth Advisory division, headed by vice chair Dominic Emmerson. CEO Oliver Gregson noted that these moves are designed to integrate personal advice with global connectivity to meet the evolving needs of ultra-wealthy clients and endowments. The restructuring occurs as Schroders prepares to divest its Benchmark advice business to Söderberg & Partners, a move intended to streamline its core wealth management offerings.
