Julien Dauchez has been hired as a consultant, Xavier Lassau and Narimane Agha join as junior analysts and Graham Brewster has been brought over from the equivalent team in Boston.
All four will be based in the Natixis London office and report to James Beaumont, head of that team.
Dauchez will focus on expanding the group’s activities in France, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium as well as among institutional investors. Brewster, Lassau and Agha will contribute to the service of Natixis’ clients globally.
“As concerns escalate over the state of investors’ retirement pots, the role of the financial adviser has never been more crucial, and it is the responsibility of asset managers to ensure that the adviser community is fully equipped,” Beaumont said. “We are continuing to expand our portfolio analysis capabilities to provide advisers with the tools they need to build portfolios that meet their clients’ long term investment objectives,” he added.
