Hilary Wakefield

Spear’s Review

Hilary Wakefield started at EFG in 1999; he was brought in to develop and broaden the foundations of the firm’s investment management approach.

Having originally developed the stock-picking programme, he went on to lead the asset allocation process and is currently head of portfolio management in the UK. Wakefield brings over 35 years’ experience in investment management to the role; he also held positions at Schroders and Lloyds Bank, among others, before joining EFG.

Wakefield believes EFG’s strength lies in having the flexibility to think outside the box and execute in the most efficient way possible with a view to capitalising on the investment rationale and minimising associated costs.
