Rensburg Sheppards Investment Management is adopting the new name of "Investec Wealth & Investment
The change follows positive feedback from staff across the business about the Investec brand, subsequent to the full acquisition last year of Rensburg Sheppards by Investec plc.
The firm sys that despite the name change its our core philosophy and approach - to offer clients a bespoke personal service of the highest quality - will remain absolutely at the heart of the business.
The company says: "Part of a financially strong FTSE 100 group since June 2010, when Rensburg Sheppards became fully part of Investec, our investment managers can now look forward to the additional benefit of a very well-regarded and supported brand.
"For clients and employees alike, this marks a significant and exciting development."
Commenting on the move, Jonathan Wragg, UK Chief Executive of Investec Wealth & Investment said:“The name Investec Wealth & Investment will be synonymous with the enduring values and modern methods that have allowed our business to thrive over many years.
"In addition the change of brand also presents us with new opportunities to grow, as part of a FTSE 100 group that is committed to developing our business. After working in association with Investec for several years, we are proud to be adopting their name.”
Jon Seal, Head of the Liverpool office added: “Offering clients a service that is out of the ordinary lies at the heart of the Investec brand and that is fundamentally what Rensburg Sheppards has always been about.
"We’ve been a constant presence in the city of Liverpool since 1873, making us one of the city’s longest established and largest investment managers and our rebrand to Investec Wealth and Investment marks a new and very exciting chapter in our story”.
