Architas head of UK funds Cedric Bucher said: “The recent fallout from the European Union referendum shows the need for clear and concise communications. It is at times like this when clients look to advisers and the asset management industry to help them navigate the volatile environment. We are determined to work closely with our adviser clients in good times and bad.
“Adrian will help us do this and ensure we are talking in a clear and consumer friendly voice at all times. His background as an investment adviser and then working for a number of leading direct consumer businesses, including Hargreaves Lansdown, Tilney Bestinvest and AXA Self Investor will be invaluable in this role.”
Lowcock most recently held the role of head of investing at AXA Wealth. Prior to that, he also served at Hargreaves Lansdown and Tilney Bestinvest.
“In the last few years there has been recognition across the investment services industry that we need to improve communications with investors. Architas have been at the forefront of this change and recognise the need to provide investors with information as well as their views on markets without always promoting a product,” Lowcock stated.
