Tilney has promoted chief investment strategist Ben Seager-Scott to the newly-created role of head of multi-asset to oversee a £7bn range of funds.
Seager-Scott (pictured) joined Tilney in 2011 as senior research analyst having previously spent four years at Whitechurch Securities in Bristol.
At Tilney, he is responsible for developing macro views alongside chief investment officer Chris Godding. He sits on the investment committee for the fund-of-funds range and managed portfolio service. He has also been responsible for passive funds research.
The new role has hands on responsibility for fund selection and portfolio management within Tilney’s Oeic fund ranges.
In a press release announcing the appointment, Godding touted the wealth manager’s proprietary research covering active, passive and smart beta strategies that cater to a variety of client goals and risk profiles. “Tilney has one of the largest multi-asset fund books in the UK, supported by a sizeable team of 12 analysts and portfolio managers.”
Of the FTSE 250 firm’s £24.4bn assets under management, 76% are under either bespoke or centrally managed discretionary mandates. Its £7bn Oeic funds include the Multi-Asset, Global Multi-Asset and Advanced Passive portfolio fund ranges and its Dublin-domiciled Core Investment Management Service.
Seager-Scott has a PhD in Biochemistry and is a CFA charterholder.
