• Paul Rose joins as Intermediary Client Director

Heartwood Investment Management today announces the appointment of Paul Rose as Intermediary Client Director.

Paul will help develop and manage Heartwood’s financial adviser business solution and distribution strategy.

Paul joins Heartwood from Novia Financial Plc where, as Regional Sales Manager, he was initially responsible for developing the company’s presence in the North East before taking over responsibility for the North West region. Prior to that, he was National Sales Manager at Cofunds, instrumental in the fund administration service provider seeing its highest overall new net sales in four years. Paul has also worked at Zurich Financial Services progressing to Regional Sales Manager.

This latest appointment emphasises Heartwood Investment Management’s strategy to provide a business solution to advice firms. The company seeks to help firms who wish to focus on the advice aspect of their client relationships and outsource the investment management of their clients’ funds.

He brings a wealth of experience and an impressive reputation in the intermediary sector. He will play a key role in the development of our business amongst advice and wealth management firms in the future.”
