Brown Advisory, an independent and privately held global investment management firm that oversees US$170 billion in client assets globally, has appointed Nick Andjel to take over as the head of UK Private Clients and Charities following Quintin Ings-Chambers’ appointment as head of International Business.
Andjel is a portfolio manager and previously served as deputy dead of UK Private Clients and Charities. Prior to joining Brown Advisory in 2016, he was a portfolio director at GAM Investments, responsible for a broad range of private and charity clients. Nick’s career also includes roles at Goldman Sachs, Barclays and Barings Asset Management.
Brown Advisory’s international presence, established by Logie Fitzwilliams in 2007, comprises around $30bn in client assets. Of this, the Private Client and Charity AUM is $4.5bn. The dedicated Private Client team has grown to 25 colleagues, including 14 portfolio managers and investment professionals. They design and manage bespoke investment portfolios for a client base of individuals, charities, family offices, endowments, and foundations, often dealing with complex and multi-jurisdiction financial considerations.
Quintin Ings-Chambers, head of International Business at Brown Advisory, said: “We are delighted that Nick will be taking over as Head of UK Private Clients and Charities at Brown Advisory and look forward to him building on the excellent service and counsel he has provided to our clients over the past eight years. Brown Advisory is a client first firm, focused on the highest levels of service and performance and Nick has shown exemplary leadership in this respect.”
Logie Fitzwilliams, Co-CEO of Brown Advisory, said: “I’d like to congratulate both Quintin and Nick on their appointments as Head of International Business and Head of UK Private Clients and Charities, respectively. I have worked closely with both for many years in London and have seen them provide our private clients with the highest standard of service and advice. I also have no doubt that the International Business, and Private Clients, will continue to succeed under their leadership.”
Quintin joined Brown Advisory in 2012 and most latterly was head of the firm’s International Private Clients and Charities team. Prior to joining Brown Advisory, he was an investment director at SG Hambros and a director in the private client and charity group of Barings Asset Management. His earlier career was at Rensburg Sheppards where he was a member of the group’s asset allocation committee and managed a multi-manager unit trust.
London serves as the international business headquarters and comprises global equity and fixed income teams, a UK private clients and strategic advisory team, and a significant business development effort. From London, the firm launched its UCITs funds business based in Dublin and opened offices in Frankfurt, Singapore, and Tokyo to better serve the European, Asian and Australian regions.
