US Expansion Hawksmoor has announced expansion into Chicago with plans for additional US sites in 2025 and beyond, signaling a strategic opportunity to offer cross-border discretionary management capabilities, localised wealth services, and US product allocation expertise.

Leadership Growth Appointment of Michael Bishop as managing director and Ben Conway promoted to CIO indicates a leadership refresh and potential appetite for scaled client acquisition, product development, and deeper institutional partnerships.

ESG Excellence Award recognition for Excellence in ESG enhances credibility with clients prioritising sustainable investing, creating a talking point to upsell ESG-aligned funds, stewardship services, and impact-focused mandates.

Multi-Asset Solutions Existing capabilities in discretionary management, multi-asset funds-of-funds and risk-based Model Portfolios position Hawksmoor to target advisory firms seeking diversified, risk-controlled portfolios and scalable outsourcing for private clients, trusts, pensions, and charities.
