Rathbones unveils new chairman as it closes out volatile year with £55bn in assets
Clive Bannister will be the investment group’s first new chairman in a decade
Rathbones has closed out 2020 with £55bn in assets thanks to a bumper performance from its funds business as it unveils the former CEO of Phoenix will take over as its chairman.
The FTSE 250 investment group reversed the tide of outflows in Q4, netting £500m of inflows compared with £200m of redemptions in the previous quarter.
This took its total funds under management and administration up to £54.7bn for 2020, up 8.6% from £50.4bn in 2019. By comparison the FTSE 100 fell 14.3% over the year, while the MSCI Pimfa Private Investor Balanced Index was largely unchanged.

The next generation of contracts should be designed to work with MMC
The government’s new construction playbook identifies the use of digital tools and modern methods of construction (MMC) as being critical to achieving its objectives of a leaner, greener building sector. The industry cannot return to its old ways, having learned so much during the pandemic about how to build more effectively.
Contracts have a vital role to play in facilitating new ways of doing business. Many standard form contracts have their roots in precedents from the mid-20th century and in some cases much earlier. While all the leading standard forms have had a number of refreshes in recent years, and there are numerous comparatively new forms that incentivise continuous improvement and collaboration (such as the NEC4 Alliance Contract), none have been drafted specifically to support MMC.
Investment Week is hosting its Alternatives Briefing at a pivotal time for investors as they start to position for the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, although risks remain.
During this interactive briefing, we will hear from a number of alternatives managers about their response to the extraordinary events of the past year and their outlook for the rest of the year and beyond.
The managers will identify where they are seeing the biggest opportunities and risks at the moment for their portfolios and explain the role their strategies could play in helping diversify client portfolios.
Attendees will also get the chance to network with peers, quiz our speakers, as well as benefit from CPD points.
