The international division of RBC Wealth Management has announced a further hire to its London-based UK onshore business, which is led by Philip Harris.

Jonathan Gold has joined RBC Wealth Management as a Director. He has over 15 years experience in client relationship management. Mr Gold was previously a Vice President at Alliance Bernstein Global Wealth Management, where he worked from 2006 to 2009. He specialises in tax-efficient investment planning, philanthropy, cross-border issues and charities. He will advise High Net Worth and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, foundations and charities on asset allocation and portfolio investment strategies, as well as providing them with access to RBC Wealth Management’s integrated offering of tax, advisory and discretionary investment management, credit, custody and trust services.

Commenting on the hire, Philip Harris, Head of UK Domestic, RBC Wealth Management, said: “Wealth managers are drawn to working for an institution that their clients would like to bank with. We believe that we offer our clients a unique proposition in that we give them what they need and not what the bank wants to sell. We operate very much as a boutique, but with the benefit of being backed by a major player’s strong balance sheet and solution set. Our strategy is to continue to hire the cream of the crop among UK wealth managers over the coming months and will be making more announcements to this effect.”
