Plurimi Capital, a London-based wealth management firm, has appointed the Earl of Clanwilliam as chairman of its advisory board.

Lord Clanwilliam sits on the boards of various companies, such as Polyus Gold and CBM Oil, in both non-executive and executive capacities, and he is also the chairman of Eurasia Drilling Company. Having first begun his career at Hanson, the construction materials firm, he later went on to be seconded to the Home Office as an advisor - giving him a breadth of experience in both the public and private sectors.

Plurimi Capital was launched in 2008 to serve institutional clients, family offices and ultra high net worth clients with over $10 million in investable assets. The firm was set up by Ramzy Rasamny, ex-managing director and head of the Middle East team at Credit Suisse, and Francis Menassa, the senior member of his team at Credit Suisse.
