Marlborough has appointed former Columbia Threadneedle sales veteran Alastair Caw to a newly-created senior business development role.
As head of client solutions, Caw (pictured) will work with wealth managers, multi-manager firms, family offices and platform fund research teams to increase flows into Marlborough’s single-strategy and multi-asset funds.
Caw, who has more than 20 years’ experience in the asset management industry, previously spent 14 years at Columbia Threadneedle where he was head of UK wholesale and before that, head of UK discretionary sales. He also spent nine years in distribution roles at Credit Suisse.
Marlborough chief executive Richard Goodall said: “Marlborough is entering an exciting new chapter of growth and Alastair brings expertise that will play an important role in helping us to achieve our ambitious objectives.
“He has a wealth of industry experience, a detailed understanding of a range of distribution channels and shares our vision for long-term growth that’s built on helping intermediaries achieve first-class outcomes for their clients.”
Caw said: “This is an exciting time to be joining Marlborough. The combination of a commitment to investment excellence, a strong client-first philosophy and an agile, entrepreneurial culture provides a powerful platform for growth.
“I’m very pleased to be joining the team and excited about working with a wide range of intermediaries to bring Marlborough’s high-quality solutions to a still-greater number of UK investors.”
