Evidence-based investing pioneer Sparrows Capital has hired Steven Cohen as a Senior Investment Analyst. Cohen will work alongside Sparrows’ CIO, Raymond Backreedy.
Cohen brings over 10 years’ experience in investment management and financial planning. He previously led the development and implementation of in-house investment strategies at Lumin Wealth as an investment manager, overseeing portfolios in excess of £1bn. Prior to this, Cohen was a Paraplanner at Lubbock Fine Wealth Management.
Cohen combines strong technical research with practical expertise in fund selection, trade execution, financial planning and navigating advice platforms. He also holds the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (DipPFS) and the Investment Management Certificate (IMC).
His appointment follows a wave of new hires for Sparrows Capital over the last 12 months, most recently the hire of Gareth Perry to its business development team in December 2025 as the firm continues its growth drive and the expansion of its low-cost, evidence-based SCore MPS proposition.
Raymond Backreedy, CIO: “We are pleased to have Steven join the Investment Management team. His extensive platform background and paraplanning experience further strengthen our capabilities around the Sparrows SCore MPS offering and investment operations.”
