"With an impressive professional track record as a stockbroker, analyst and most recently as a portfolio manager, Callum has multi-faceted experience which will complement that of our team.

"We extend a warm welcome to Callum and look forward to the benefit of his insight, working with him on the Sustainable Portfolio funds and platform models."
