Spear’s Review

James Campbell-Johnston, a director at RBC Brewin Dolphin, manages the portfolios, trusts and pension funds of a loyal HNW client base. ‘I consider myself incredibly lucky,’ Campbell-Johnston tells Spear’s. ‘People, markets and geopolitics really interest me, and I find that my job involves a combination of these.’

Campbell-Johnston and his team are able to provide solutions for almost every type of client, and emphasise maintaining a personal relationship with clients throughout their lives.

‘Brewin Dolphin was established in 1762, so we've been around for a very long time,’ Campbell-Johnson says. ‘I think that gives clients some comfort. It takes years to build a decent reputation, and that reputation is fragile and has to be nurtured. It can be destroyed by one bad mistake or by not listening to somebody.’
