Hugh Adlington

Spear’s Review

Hugh Adlington, a senior investment director at TrinityBridge (formerly Close Brothers), joined the firm in 2018 from Rathbones, where he managed approximately £600 million in assets for 200 families. He now works alongside ‘partner in crime’ Andrew Hess to manage the portfolios of private clients and families. 

The firm has a ‘fantastic infrastructure’, he tells Spear’s, ‘especially on the research and risk side’. TrinityBridge looks after around £1.3 billion in client assets, and Adlington says a third of assets he manages are from new clients rather than transfers. ‘You get a feeling that the cobweb is working.’ 

Adlington serves as a trusted adviser and primary point of contact for his clients, guiding them on what investment structures are most suitable for their goals and setting a strategy to achieve them.
