Evelyn Partners has appointed LGT Wealth Management’s Lauren Glaister as a partner for its Leeds office investment management team.
Glaister holds over 13 years of experience in the industry, and joined LGT Wealth Management following its acquisition of Abrdn Capital in 2023. She had spent three years with Abrdn as senior investment manager. Before, Glaister gained experience with Tilney Investment Managers, which is now part of Evelyn Partners, and Redmayne-Bentley.
Ian Gibson, managing partner in Evelyn Partners’ Leeds office, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Lauren to our Leeds investment management team. Lauren is a former colleague, and I am looking forward to working with her again as we continue with our growth plans in the region over the course of 2024. I know that Lauren’s extensive, senior investment management will be a great asset for our business and clients.”
