Mary-Anne Daly

Spear’s Review

Mary-Anne Daly is the chief executive, wealth management at Schroders and Cazenove Capital. 

‘I am proud of what I have accomplished as chief executive of Cazenove Capital, which has grown to be one of the preeminent and most highly regarded wealth managers in the UK,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘With the support of our parent company, Schroders, we have built a strong, profitable and growing business and are able to provide our clients with a full range of services.’

A veteran of JPMorgan Chase, ING and Baring Asset Management (now Barings), Daly joined Cazenove Capital in 2002 and has led the combined wealth management businesses of Schroders and Cazenove since the latter’s takeover by Schroders in 2013. Daly also oversees the wealth management offices in the Channel Islands, Switzerland and Singapore. 

‘One of the important qualities we look for in our client managers is to listen actively to clients’ preoccupations, and the same curiosity and openness to challenge is true of effective leaders,’ she says of the skills she looks for when building a team. ‘I am pleased that one of the defining characteristics of my leadership style is that I am surrounded by a team of talented people with different skills and perspectives who are unafraid of expressing their views but united in wanting what’s best for our clients and the business.’
