Spear's Review

‘Clients want insight,’ says managing director Nick Green, who joined Coutts from JPMorgan in 2004, rising swiftly to become a senior adviser before moving into Coutts’ family office. 

Many clients come to him after selling a business: ‘They go from something familiar and tangible ... to something that’s alien, because suddenly you’ve got a lot of money in the bank but you’re not used to it.’ 

Green was at university when a presentation by Coutts inspired him to go into financial services. ‘I figured, “There must be a way of doing this for a living because I really love it” – and when the opportunity to join arose, I jumped at it,’ he recalls.
