RI Advice Group chief executive officer Paul Campbell (pictured) announced both appointments, saying Coggins would be tasked with maintaining RI’s in-house research capability.
He was previously manager of research at consultancy firm CPG, with particular experience in fund manager research and asset consulting.
Deepthi Ravi Kumar, who had been with the group since 2007, brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role, Campbell said.
