Andrew Taylor is joining from Neptune Investment Management to cover sales for the North of England and Scotland, while Mark Wright has been poached from Jupiter Asset Management to cover the Midlands.
Liontrust said the recruitment is the next stage of its growth strategy with recorded assets under management of £9.1bn as on 3 April.
With these two hires on board, Liontrust will have an 18-strong sales team in the UK and Europe, covering institutional, single strategy and multi-asset distribution markets.
The firm distributes its Irish range of funds in continental Europe through its Luxembourg-based sales team.
Chimes, who himself joined from Miton last autumn, said: “We have high quality fund management and distribution teams at Liontrust. This is clearly shown by the brand profile of Liontrust and the fact we have funds on such a large number of discretionary and advisory buy lists.
“I am really pleased we have been able to recruit people of the calibre of Andrew and Mark to add to the strong sales team we already have.
“They will enable us to expand still further our distribution reach and levels of client service in the North of England, Scotland and the Midlands.
“I have worked with both Andrew and Mark before so I know how good their investment knowledge and relationships are and they will fit in really well with the rest of the sales team.
“At Liontrust, they will have a strong range of funds and portfolios and seven impressive fund management teams to talk to their clients about.”
