Bucher has been appointed to a newly created business development role encompassing sales, marketing and product development.
Reporting into Hans Georgeson, managing director at Architas, in this role Cedric will lead business development and product strategy and sit on the management committee.
Bucher joins Architas from SEI in London, where he developed and marketed diversified investment portfolios for the financial adviser and private banking markets as the head of client investment strategy for the UK and EMEA.
Prior to this, he held positions with Barclays Wealth where he was responsible for the development and implementation of the product strategy for their range of multi-manager funds, as well as Barclays Capital and McKinsey&Co.
Georgeson said Architas is growing at a considerable pace and needs highly experienced and talented teams in place. Cedric’s 13 year track record in business and product development meets the firm’s needs exactly as they expand and will provide welcome additional capacity as we continue to enhance the quality of service provided to clients and broaden Architas’ reach across the UK and into Europe.
Architas’ funds under management and advice have grown to £7.7bn since the investment company was launched in 2008.
