ICAS has announced its first ever Principal Partnership with Investec Wealth & Investment as part of a new approach to partnerships.

As a Principal Partner, Investec Wealth & Investment will work with ICAS across the year to support the delivery of flagship member events including the ICAS Conference and the ICAS Scotland Dinner, both scheduled for Edinburgh later in the year.

The newly-launched Principal Partner scheme represents a fresh direction to working with sponsors, enabling ICAS to build long-term, evolving and mutually beneficial relationships with partners who provide services relevant to its members.

Investec Wealth & Investment is one of the UK’s leading wealth and investment management companies, with responsibility for over £26.5bn of client assets. It has been trusted to meet the needs of private investors for almost 200 years.

Commenting on the partnership, Murray Mackay, Executive Director at Investec Wealth & Investment in Edinburgh, said: “We are delighted to be supporting ICAS and the great work the Institute continues to provide. We look forward to helping it support and grow its membership and working with these professionals to the benefit of their clients.”

Anton Colella, Chief Executive of ICAS, added: “We are immensely proud to be working alongside Investec Wealth & Investment as our first ever Principal Partner and look forward to developing activity which puts our members at the heart. I know Investec Wealth & Investment’s significant experience in the sector will prove of real value to our members.”
