Robert Hughes-Penney

Spear’s Review

Robert Hughes-Penney’s education and military career have given him a broad knowledge of cultures, people and markets. It is perhaps this diversity which enables him to help such a wide range of clients as investment director at Rathbones. 

‘Some are busy professionals, some are entrepreneurs, some are retired, some just starting out in life,’ he says. ‘They have one thing in common – they want to face the future with confidence.’ 

Hughes-Penney wants to use wealth planning to bring families together: ‘One of a wealth manager’s most rewarding experiences is when the client relationship is deepened as a result. Ideally, wealth management – like wealth itself – should transition smoothly from one generation to the next.’
