Lifespan expands investment committee
Lifespan Financial Planning has appointed Jonathan Pain to its investment committee.
Pain was a financial market commentator and author of investment newsletter The Weekly Pain Report.
He had also led investment teams in London, Bahrain and Australia including for HFA Asset Management and Rothschild Australia Asset Management.
The committee researched and reviewed the products it recommended to its Lifespan advice community as well as the Lifespan MDA and managed portfolio solution and the six portfolios offered via Lifespan Invest.
Lifespan chief executive, Eugene Ardino, said: “Each Lifespan investment committee member has been chosen for their diverse background and specialist expertise to help ensure there is diversity in thinking and robust discussion at committee meetings, and ultimately a thoroughly debated approval decision.
“I look forward to Jonathan’s contribution to these rich debates and his entertaining and well-researched perspective of the world and willingness to call things exactly as he sees them.”
