Follows spent eight years at Investec W&I, specialising in managing bespoke portfolios for private clients, trusts, charities and pensions. 

At CBAM, he will be responsible for conducting economic and market analysis to drive portfolio investment decisions, as well as assisting in communicating the teams' investment message to clients.

Nathanael Pinder, chief commercial officer at CBAM, said: «We were delighted to have Jonathan join our London team earlier this month, and with Matt now joining we have added even more valuable experience to help bolster CBAM's bespoke offering. 

»Their contributions will play a significant role in CBAM's ongoing growth and commitment to delivering tailored financial management solutions for our clients."
