Close Brothers Asset Management has announced the appointment of Amy Lazenby to its investment team.

UK-based Close Brothers Asset Management has appointed Amy Lazenby to its investment team, as investor director and lead portfolio manager for the tailored portfolio service. 

Lazenby, as a chartered FCSI and chartered wealth manager, joins the firm with more than 10 years of investment experience.  Previously, she co-founded the private client discretionary firm Wilson King Investment Management.  

The tailored portfolio service offers discretionary managed investments in four portfolio styles with a global investment mandate.  It is also a core part of the CBAM private client, family office and charity range of investment solutions.
