Signia Wealth signs up former Schroders boss in growth bid
UPMARKET money manager Signia Wealth yesterday said the former chief of Schroders Private Banking Rupert Robinson had joined the company to head up its wealth management activities.
Robinson, a private banking heavyweight who has worked at institutions including N.M. Rothschild & Son and boutique firm Beaumont Capital, joins the firm’s chief executive and founder Nathalie Dauriac-Stoebe to help push the development of the three year old business.
He told City A.M.: “I always had a burning desire to get re-involved with a smaller business where I could influence its development through my personality and skills”
Robinson was pivotal in growing Schroders’ private bank offering, boosting the pot of cash it manages from £3bn to £10bn during the ten years he led the firm. Philip Mallinckrodt replaced Robinson at Schroders in October.
