Kleinwort Benson creates senior offshore role within Private Wealth Management

Kleinwort Benson has appointed Clive Wright (pictured) to the role of Head of Private Wealth Management, Offshore.

Based in Jersey, Clive will report to Stephen Rothwell, Head of Private Wealth Management.

Clive joined Kleinwort Benson in January 2012 from Deutsche Bank in Jersey, where he was Head and Managing Director of its Private Wealth Management business in the Channel Islands, Turkey, Israel and Africa. Clive joined Deutsche Bank in 2006 initially as Head of Private Banking, having previously worked at the Royal Bank of Canada. Whilst at Deutsche Bank, Clive led an international team of 26 staff advising UHNW and family office clients.

In the newly created role, Clive will lead the growth of the Private Wealth Management business in offshore markets working closely with offshore professional advisers, and will lead offshore fund sales.

Clive will be responsible for a team of 23 that covers the Private Wealth Management, Portfolio Management and Fund Distribution business areas across Jersey and Guernsey.

Commenting on the appointment Stephen Rothwell, Head of Private Wealth Management, said:

“Clive’s appointment as Head of Private Wealth Management Offshore is further demonstration of our commitment to provide an excellent service to cross-jurisdictional HNW and UHNW families. I look forward to working closely with Clive and Valentina Tacchino, Kleinwort Benson’s recently appointed Head of Private Wealth Management International. We will continue to build on Kleinwort Benson’s existing success and strong momentum in international private wealth management.”

The appointment of Clive follows the recent London-based hires of Valentina Tacchino as Head of Private Wealth Management International and Andrew Wheeler as Executive Director Business Development adding further strength to the Kleinwort Benson team.
