"Our independence is fundamental to the quality and integrity of the service
we offer." Michael Kerr-Dineen, Chief Executive

Cheviot Asset Management was launched in May 2006, following the recruitment of 92 investment professionals and support staff from UBS.

Michael Kerr-Dineen, industry veteran and former chief executive of UBS Laing & Cruickshank, was appointed chief executive; and Sir George Mathewson, formerly chairman of Royal Bank of Scotland and one of the world’s most respected bankers, was appointed chairman.

Cheviot has continued to recruit high profile professionals from other organisations, and now manages and advises on over £2.5bn of client assets.* Cheviot was the UK’s fastest-growing asset management firm of 2006.**
