Investec Bank plc, a leading international financial services provider, today announces the appointment of Vivek Raja to its London Research team. Vivek will focus on UK financial services businesses, further building Investec’s research capability across Financials and Fintech, where clients value differentiated insight, deep sector knowledge and high-quality coverage.

In this role, Vivek will support clients with research across a broad range of UK financial services business models, from small and mid-cap companies through to larger cap names. His appointment strengthens Investec’s ability to provide clients with informed sector analysis, deepen coverage in an important area of the market and support decision-making with relevant, actionable insight.

Vivek brings around two decades of experience covering UK financial services businesses. His background across wealth management, asset management, investment platforms, brokerage, payments, business services, insurance and UK banks brings a breadth of perspective that will enhance the insight Investec delivers to clients.

Andrew Whitney, Head of Research at Investec, said:

His long-standing experience across a wide range of business models will deepen the insight we provide and further build our ability to deliver high-quality, relevant research. We continue to invest in our platform so that clients benefit from strong sector expertise, close coverage and a research product that supports better-informed decisions.”

This appointment continues Investec’s focus on further building its Research platform in areas where sector expertise and close client engagement matter most and follows the recent hire of Piers Brown as Senior Analyst, Financials.
