Mark Keogh has been hired as Blackfinch Group's new head of asset management distribution.
It comes as the firm works to expand its managed portfolio and tailored portfolio services.
Keogh has 37 years of industry experience and joins Blackfinch after 13 years at Liontrust where he was head of MPS sales, where he grew assts under management from £150mn to £1.5bn.
He said: "I look forward to working with the team to expand our MPS and TPS offering. Blackfinch’s unique approach to investment and its strong reputation in the market make this an exciting opportunity to drive further growth."
His role is expected to focus on the firm's tailored portfolio service as demand from advisers rises, said Blackfinch.
Richard Cook, CEO of Blackfinch Group, said: “[Keogh's] extensive experience, particularly in the managed portfolio space and his success in building strong, trusted relationships with advisers, will be key to driving our next phase of growth.
"As more advisers look for reliable outsourcing options, his leadership will be vital to expanding our distribution channels.”
Blackfinch said its TPS solution will offer a "flexible and customisable approach", allowing advisers to better meet specific client needs.
