Meet Brian Donald
Brian is an investment specialist within the Business Development Team here at AJ Bell Investcentre, and brings to the role many years of experience of working in the industry with advisers. He can discuss with you with all aspects of our in-house range of simple, transparent low-cost investment solutions which are designed to deliver good client outcomes.
If you are looking to review your investment service for clients, or your retirement income proposition, and you would like to find out how AJ Bell Investments can help, please arrange a meeting. Brian can walk you through our outcome-orientated MPS and Multi-Asset Fund options.
Whether your interest is in our risk-targeted growth portfolios or our income portfolios he is on hand to provide any support you need.
Brian is on hand to explain how our investment solutions can meet your clients’ needs and slot into your CIP or CRP. He works closely with our Investment Team to provide ongoing commentary on our portfolio positioning and performance and can provide whatever technical support you need on our investment range.
Brian is originally from Scotland, but moved to London in the late 90s and has spent most of his working life in the South of England. All in all, he’s worked in business development roles in the advised market for over 25 years.
During this period, he's represented some large providers, initially in the pensions and platform market, before going on to specialise in investments.
Away from the day job, his free time revolves around family. He’s the head chauffeur for his teenage daughter and her busy schedule of school, sports, and social engagements!
Other interests include football, golf, eating out, and he also enjoy travelling and discovering new places with my family.
