Latitude Investment Management chief operations officer James Foster (pictured) has been appointed to the board of the Independent Investment Management Initiative (IIMI).
The organisation is a member-led thinktank made up of 43 boutique investment firms. Its goals are to shape regulation that supports boutiques, promote their strengths, and drive good practises.
Foster has worked with IIMI for a number of years as a member and will now become a key decision maker of the collective.
He said: “Boutiques offer an appealing alternative in the ever-consolidating asset management industry, and it is a great opportunity to engage with regulators and governments, amongst other bodies, to further align our thinking, our understanding, and our mission.”
He has been in his role at Latitude since January 2021 and has worked in the asset management industry for 18 years.
In the past Foster has worked for string of boutique firms such as Albert Bridge Capital, Valiance, and Boston and Alexander.
