Heartwood hires Coutts head
Heartwood, the wealth management boutique, has hired a new head of investment communications from larger rival Coutts & Co, its second senior hire in a fortnight.
Giles Peel joins as head of investment communications, a newly created position. Peel will be responsible for communicating investment strategy, portfolio activity, market commentaries and economic views to Heartwood’s clients.
He will be based in the London office and will report to Noland Carter, chief investment officer.
He joins from Coutts, where he was head of investment communications. Before that, he was head of investment and product writing at Barclays Wealth.
Last month, Heartwood hired Kirsty MacArthur as a relationship director from UBS.
