Quilter Cheviot has announced it has hired Nicola Toyer as a director within its charities team.
 
Toyer joins from Investec Wealth & Investment UK where she most recently served as head of charities and previously as investment director. She also worked at Smith & Williamson, which has since rebranded to Evelyn Partners, starting as an investment manager and progressing to associate director.
 
Toyer will report to William Reid, Quilter Cheviot’s head of charities. As well as being responsible for managing charity investment portfolios, she will work closely alongside charity team colleagues across the firm’s regional network. As part of the specialist team, she will support growth in Quilter Cheviot’s charity business by building new relationships with charities, whilst also promoting the Quilter Cheviot Global Income & Growth Fund for Charities.
 
Quilter Cheviot’s charities team provides investment services to over 650 charitable organisations and since 2020 has run the Quilter Cheviot Global Income & Growth Fund for Charities. The charity authorised investment fund invests across all assets and is designed to make accessing investments for charities less onerous and costly.
 
William Reid, head of charities at Quilter Cheviot, said:
 
“We are thrilled to welcome Nicola to our team at Quilter Cheviot at a pivotal time of growth for the business. She brings extensive experience in the charity sector and a deep understanding of client and portfolio management to share with colleagues. Nicola is highly regarded in the charity field and will provide vital support in promoting our services and capabilities as we continue to enhance our offering for our charity partners.”
 
Nicola Toyer, charities director at Quilter Cheviot, added:
 
“I am very pleased to be joining Quilter Cheviot’s charities team.
