Spear's Review
It was just over three decades ago that James Penny embarked on his career in wealth management. In his current position, he serves as managing director and head of the UK international private banking department for Barclays and co-head of Global Growth Markets PB.
Penny provides senior management coverage in global investing, lending, wealth structuring, private assets and next generation wealth to an extremely globalised client base. ‘We advise across the spectrum and are active on both sides of the balance sheet for clients,’ he says.
His pre-eminence in the industry has earned him positions among the Top 10 Magic Circle Private Bankers List and Citywealth’s Top 100 International Wealth Advisor List. His tireless commitment is evident in more than just his job; Penny is an executive fellow at King's College London Business School, a fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment and an associate of the London Institute of Banking and Finance. He also serves as a trustee and director of several charities in both the education and arts sectors.
