Based in the firm’s London office from 1 June, Champion will operate alongside Canaccord WM CIO Nigel Cuming on the management of the firm’s onshore discretionary client portfolios and online platforms.
Champion joins from Sanlam, where he spent 11 years in a CIO berth following a European fund manager role with Pavilion Asset Management.
“Richard brings valuable insight and expertise to our existing stock selection and asset allocation capabilities,” said David Esfandi, Canaccord WM CIO.
“With a proven track record of strong portfolio performance, Richard is the ideal candidate to help enhance the implementation of Canaccord’s investment decisions across our client portfolios.”
