Rothschild has appointed three new members of its investment team in its private banking and trust business.

Rosy Rathbone joins as a director to support the investment needs of the trust business. Ms Rathbone was previously with Barclays where she was a director leading an international team of portfolio managers in the private bank and then head of portfolio management for Gerrard.

In her latter role she was responsible for the delivery of Gerrard's investment proposition, the management of investment teams and providing advice to large and complex clients.

Scott Ingham has joined Rothschild as a director focusing on strategic asset allocation and structuring individual client portfolios. Mr Ingham was most recently at Barclays Wealth where he was responsible for formulating and implementing strategic asset allocation for wealthy individuals and families.

Mark Wallace has joined as an assistant director and portfolio manager. Mr Wallace worked as an investment manager with Robert Fleming and JP Morgan before joining and subsequently running a small investment boutique.

Noland Carter, chief executive officer of the London Private Banking business and global chief investment officer said: “I am particularly pleased to have recruited professionals of this calibre who bring considerable client and investment experience and expertise to their respective roles.”

Mr Carter was, until last April, chief executive of investment services at Barclays Private Clients. A further member of the new Rothschild management team, marketing director Alison Petit, was business director of investment services at Barclays Wealth.

But the traffic has not been all one way. Barclays Wealth last month appointed Jonathan Colchester, formerly a director with responsibility for developing UK and international business at Rothschilds Private Management, as a director in its London operation.
