Isio Investment Management appoints Regional Head of Business Development

Isio has appointed Nick Elliott as Regional Head of Business Development in its Investment Management business, strengthening the firm’s presence in the intermediary market.

Nick will work closely with Isio’s Wealth leadership to develop long term partnerships with financial intermediaries, helping them access institutional grade investment solutions and governance to support better outcomes for clients. 

The appointment forms part of a broader expansion of Isio’s Wealth distribution team, with additional hires planned as demand for Isio’s investment management services continues to grow.

Nick joins Isio from Rathbones, where, as Director of Sales, he was responsible for commercial relationships with financial intermediaries across a range of investment propositions. Nick brings extensive experience of adviser-led distribution, a strong understanding of adviser and client needs and a track record of building trusted, long-term relationships.

The appointment follows the recent launch of Isio’s Model Portfolio Service (MPS), which brings the firm’s institutional investment expertise to the IFA and wealth market for the first time. The service, available since April 2025, offers a range of seven high-quality, low-cost portfolios, spanning multi-asset strategies from Cautious to Adventurous, alongside flexibility in how clients can engage with Isio’s investment capabilities.

Mike Hanlon, Head of Distribution for Wealth at Isio, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Nick to the team. Nick’s appointment is an important step as we continue to expand our presence in the intermediary market. He brings a wealth of experience working with financial advisers and a strong understanding of their needs, which will be invaluable as we scale.”

Nick Elliott, Head of Business Development, commented: “I’m excited to be joining Isio at such an important stage in the firm’s growth. Isio’s Model Portfolio Service is a compelling proposition for advisers, combining institutional-quality investment expertise with a clear focus on value and outcomes for clients. I’m looking forward to working closely with advisers to build long-term partnerships and supporting them with robust, high-quality investment solutions.”
