Promotions reflect Zenith’s growing footprint 
Both appointments are a direct result of the continued growth in the take up of Zenith’s managed account and investment consulting services. The increasing interest in managed account portfolio services by advisers is providing an exciting growth avenue for Zenith. Zenith believes its success in this area is as a direct result of the strength of its underlying research, which remains core to its portfolio management services and is a key competitive advantage compared to a number of other investment consultants that have emerged in the market.

Zenith Managing Partner David Wright said “we believe Zenith’s competitive advantage in managed accounts is underpinned by the ability to generate unique insights from our own research team. This provides the infrastructure to build high-performing lower-risk portfolios, as well as exceptional reporting that’s enjoyed by our adviser clients.”
