Gregor’s career in the city started almost 40 years ago. In January 1986, he joined
James Capel – at the time, one of the most respected private client firms in
the City. Following the deregulation resulting from the “Big Bang”, James Capel
became a wholly owned subsidiary of HSBC. Subsequently, in 2006 Gregor moved to
Brewin Dolphin as an Investment Director and later joined several colleagues at
Ashcourt Rowan (now known as Evelyn Partners) in 2015.
Gregor’s arrival at Raymond James, London Wall, sees him taking a change in role. He
joins in a consultancy role, having stepped down from day-to-day investment
management, working alongside investment managers he has known for three
decades.
Gregor’s team has navigated periods of significantly higher interest rates, providing a wealth of experience to investors. Their background includes the Dotcom booms and crashes, various Asian, European, and Greek debt crises, the global financial crisis of 2007-2009, and numerous conflicts. This extensive perspective has been instrumental in helping to protect client assets and laying the groundwork for growth when market conditions are favourable.
Throughout his career, Gregor has been involved with the management of private client money as well as corporates, trusts, pensions and charities. He believes the
client’s objectives are key to building portfolios that meet their aspirations.
Always a very early riser, Gregor has a passion for walking in almost any environment!
He enjoys a challenge and has cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats, solo. In his spare time, he has a keen interest in local history and is a member of the London Topographical Society, Ipswich Maritime Trust and The Ipswich Society. Gregor is a Chartered Fellow of the CISI and lives in Ipswich.
