CEO Of Wren, Michael Parsons Welcomes The New Appointment
“We are hugely grateful for the wisdom and guidance our outgoing Chairman, Christopher Kemball, has brought to us over the first few years of building Wren. We are indeed fortunate that he is being succeeded by Adam Wethered who is one of the most experienced veterans and pioneers in the multi-family office industry. His unparalleled and intricate knowledge of the workings of family wealth and endowments, with their multi-generational needs, will be invaluable to us.”
Adam Wethered added,
“I am honoured to be invited to become Chairman of Wren and immensely pleased to be reuniting with an exceptional team that I know well. Having worked over many years with countless families and trustees as they seek the best from the investment world, I greatly look forward to helping Wren’s clients protect, grow and enjoy their wealth. The most successful families and endowments think of their wealth as an “enterprise”, and manage it like a business, with structure, strategy and measurements. Most of all, working with their advisers from other disciplines, I enjoy helping clients turn their personal objectives into a successful investment journey”.
