Quilter’s multi-asset unit is set to rebrand as Quilter Investors at the end of June 2018 with a new executive committee.
The multi-asset business, which was split from the single strategy range last year, is the first in the group to adopt the new brand. The move comes after Old Mutual Wealth Management changed its group company name to Quilter.

“As Quilter Investors, we will continue to pursue our objectives of delivering institutional quality investment management for the retail market, deploying our sophisticated investment process, buying power and expert capability to offer long-term returns that match client expectations. Since establishing the dedicated Multi-Asset investment business in 2017 we have been able to recruit a highly talented team to support the already well-established investment desk, and I’m delighted with the calibre of individual we have been able to bring in,” Simpson said.
