People moves: PIMFA, Cazenove Capital, and Nedbank Private Wealth

The Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association (PIMFA) has named Lord Andrew Tyrie as its new chair.

Tyrie brings experience in shaping financial regulation over the past 20 years, having been chair of the Parliamentary Commission on banking standards, the Liaison Committee, the Commons Treasury Select Committee, and the Competition & Markets Authority. He was MP for Chichester from 1997 to 2017. Tyrie was appointed after PIMFA announced its previous chair, Lord Deben, had stepped down. Deben was chair of PIMFA for nine years, during which time he played a key role in taking the organisation forward following the amalgamation of WMA and APFA to create PIMFA. He has since worked to strengthen the position and standing of the association, championing the interests of members, and the sustainability of the advice and personal investment services sector. PIMFA stated that, during his time as chair, Deben helped the association navigate a period of significant regulatory, economic, and industry change, while continuing to advocate for high standards and positive client outcomes.

Cazenove Capital, the UK wealth management business of Schroders, has appointed Matthew Roberts as portfolio director.

Roberts has more than 20 years of experience in financial services, advising and support high net worth (HNW) and ultra HNW individuals and families. He brings private banking and wealth management expertise spanning investments, banking and credit to the role, alongside experience in relationship management and a client-led approach. Roberts was most recently senior private banker, wealth management, at SG Kleinwort Hambros where he managed portfolios of HNW and ultra HNW clients. Prior to that, Roberts was vice president, wealth and investment management at Barclays Wealth UK, and held roles at RBC Wealth Management, Coutts, and RBS.

Nedbank Private Wealth has named Ellie Sharples as executive head of regulatory strategy and Amy Clucas as executive head of compliance.

Sharples brings regulatory and industry experience to the role, most recently serving as director of relationship-managed supervision at the Jersey Financial Services Commission. She will lead strategic regulatory engagement across the business. While based in Jersey, she will shape the organisation’s regulatory strategy across all jurisdictions, and strengthen collaboration across the Nedbank group compliance teams. Clucas has more than 20 years of experience in financial services, specialising in compliance monitoring, regulatory risk management, and financial crime prevention. She is a member of the International Compliance Association and holds diplomas in Governance, Risk & Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering. She will oversee day-to-day compliance operations across the entire Nedbank Private Wealth international business, including its UK and Jersey branches and Dubai representative office.
