Morgan, who joins the firm from Hargreaves Lansdowne, will be responsible for news and features across the firm’s online platform. He will report to Ben Yearsley, head of investment research.
Morgan was with Hargreaves Lansdowne for 13 years and became a financial adviser in 2007. In 2012 he became head of venture capital trust research but continued to write on a range of investment topics across the company’s output.
He holds an Investment Management Certificate and a diploma in financial planning.
Yearsley said: “We are launched with a high quality, innovative service offering a highly competitive price point for investment clients. The next year is going to be very interesting as we start to push the service more aggressively and Rob will be key to the development of the platform going forward.”
