Based in London, David has been with Standard Life Wealth for three years and was previously Network Director for the firm.
David Driver said: "Our unique goal-based investment approach and our success in delivering investment performance for our clients has seen Standard Life Wealth reach £1.6bn AUM through organic growth in just four years.
"We now have a great platform on which to build our service and we have plans to increase our reach and develop our proposition to help meet the needs of our partners and their clients."
"With RDR now implemented, we believe there will be an increase in the number of advisers choosing to outsource investments, allowing them to spend more time on other areas of their client’s accounts while also de-risking their business. We are well positioned to work with our adviser partners, where we have already established trusted relationships, to help ensure their clients achieve the investment goals they have set."
Richard Charnock said: "David played an integral role in making Standard Life Wealth one of the fastest growing DFM firms in the country and under his leadership it will continue to perform to the high standards expected of it by our partners and their clients."
