Toby Birch

Spear’s Review

Toby Birch, who has more than 30 years of experience as an investment manager, runs the in-house portfolios for Gower Financial Services’ discretionary and advisory clients. Prior to this role, he was a fund manager at Old Mutual International in the UK before transferring to the firm’s Guernsey offices. He subsequently worked at Julius Baer on the island and later became a hedge fund manager at a private family office

Birch, who regularly writes well-informed blog posts on investment trends and wrote a book in 2007 predicting the credit crunch, joined Gower in 2017, attracted by the firm’s independent approach and personalised solutions for clients. Reflecting his keen interest in precious metals, he is also chairman of the Guernsey-based closed-end fund Golden Prospect Precious Metals.

The private banker is a chartered fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments and holds an Islamic finance qualification.
