Spear’s Review

‘We get out of bed to ensure that two plus two makes four and a half consistently,’ Christopher Rose tells Spear’s. ‘If you do that, then you’re doing a very good job for your clients.’

The director and portfolio manager joined Waverton Investment Management in 1989; the firm merged with London & Capital in 2024 to form W1M. In his current role he looks after UK resident portfolios, often managing the assets of multiple generations within one family. The firm says that Rose’s ‘particular skill set lies in ensuring an approach which is both cost- and tax-efficient’.

He has been praised for making the business what it is today. One industry peer has called him ‘an excellent front man for Waverton, always out and about’ and someone who is ‘always hale and hearty’.
