Ignis Asset Management has appointed Tim Roberts as chief operating officer.
Roberts joins Ignis from McKinsey & Company, where he has worked since 1993 and has been a partner since 1999. He will report to chief executive Chris Samuel and will sit on both the group’s asset management executive committee and the Ignis board.
Roberts will work closely with Samuel on strategy and will be dividing his time between Ignis’ London and Glasgow offices.
Prior to joining McKinsey, Roberts worked in investment banking at Warburg from 1988 to 1993.
Samuel says: “I am extremely happy to welcome Tim to Ignis. His proven track record and experience in implementing improvements in product design, investment process, distribution, organisation and risk management will be invaluable to the business as it grows.
“Ignis has ambitious plans and this is another major step towards ensuring that we have the best possible investment and management talent to help achieve our goals.”
