In the newly created role, deVere said Elliot will analyse topical political and economic issues that affect long term investments, with his reports used as an additional ‘tool’ by the company’s advisers when speaking to clients.
Elliot will be based in London.
Group chief executive and founder of deVere, Nigel Green, said: “We are extremely pleased to welcome Tom to the deVere Group. He is an informed, highly-regarded, engaging strategist whose in-depth knowledge and clear view of the markets will, no doubt, prove to be an invaluable resource for our advisers around the world.
“Tom’s appointment, and the up-to-date, informative and timely reports that he will provide, further enhance our ability to offer carefully considered and practical financial advice to our clients.”
Elliot began his career at Greig Middleton stockbrokers in London as a steel and software sector analyst, before moving to Fleming Asset Management in 1995 to be head of investment writing. Following Fleming AM’s absorption by JP Morgan Asset Management in 2000, he worked in various investment strategy roles, first on the multi asset investments desk and from 2006 as head of the UK guide to the markets team, which focused on high level investor communication.
Elliot’s appointment comes at a period of change for the company. Earlier this summer, it bought Dubai-headquartered Acuma Wealth Management and last month it confirmed it had closed its Luxembourg and Cyprus officces, with clients from those countries being managed from the UK.
