Brendan Dolan, sales director at Quilter International said: “It is a pleasure to welcome Nicholas to Quilter International and he joins at an exciting time for the business. Singapore is one of our core growth markets and we are committed to supporting the independent advice sector and expanding our distribution channels in the region. Nicholas’ expertise and understanding of the HNW client base across Asia will be a great asset and will help us broaden our reach across private banks, external asset managers and family offices.
“There is an ever-increasing population of HNW clients throughout Asia who are internationally mobile and at a stage of passing on wealth across generations. These clients typically hold international wealth and have complex needs. For this reason, we have strengthened our Pan-Asian HNW team so that it can provide better service and technical support to help our distributors leverage opportunities and deliver better customer outcomes.
“Nicholas’ joining further demonstrates the professionalism and technical capabilities of our Asia team.
