Citywire Wealth Manager announces its Top 100 Investment Managers 2024

6 November 2024

Citywire Wealth Manager has unveiled its Top 100 investment managers for 2024. We're honoured to announce that two of our very own, Rachel Blythe and Shane Bennett, have been recognised! This achievement is a testament to their exceptional talent and dedication to delivering outstanding results for their customers.

The Citywire Top 100 is highly respected within the wealth management industry as it identifies and celebrates the best investment professionals across the sector who have ‘an eye’ for identifying top-quality funds and creating high calibre investment strategies. 

Rachel Blythe, Head of Model Portfolios

With a decade-long track record of investing customer money starting from Redmayne Bentley, Rachel has consistently built strong investment portfolios. Her specialty centres around strategic asset allocation models that balance risk and reward.

Rachel is an advocate for UK small-cap investments as these stocks offer attractive valuations and potential for growth. Rachel is optimistic about their growth potential in light of the challenges they've faced post-Brexit.

Shane Bennett, Head of Investment Strategy

Shane is a seasoned investment professional who also boasts a decade-long career in financial management. He's passionate about mentoring, having helped students at Plymouth University and through our school programme “Walker Crips in Schools” which educates students about investing. Shane is intrigued by the potential Artificial Intelligence has in wealth management, having recently discovered that ChatGPT has an IQ of 155 (only 5 points below Albert Einstein!).


A Shared Passion for Client Success

For both Rachel and Shane, exceeding customer expectations is central to their decision-making processes. Both cultivate long term relationships with their customers, taking the time to understand their financial aspirations, risk tolerance and investment ethos. Their inclusion in the Citywire Top 100 is a reflection of this.

We encourage you to read the full Citywire article.

Congratulations again to Rachel and Shane!
