As the investments sector continues to evolve in response to geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory change and the rise of AI systems, demand for specialist investment, risk and data expertise remains high.
Individuals today want to maximise options for their wealth in their retirement; we help our clients appoint leaders who combine technical depth with strategic judgement, positioning organisations to responsibly allocate and effectively manage capital, enabling today’s investment to become tomorrow’s opportunity.
IGA’s Institutional Investment & Wealth division supports asset managers, wealth managers, advisory firms, asset owners and outsourced investment providers across the UK, Europe and North America. We operate across public and private markets, spanning investment leadership, portfolio management, distribution, operations, risk and infrastructure.
“
The investment world is changing and fast. We’re entering a phase where success depends on navigating 5 converging realities: AI adoption, higher for longer rates, continued geopolitical uncertainty, private markets maturity and a shift in capital from institutional to retail. Finding the right talent to navigate and flourish in this complex environment couldn’t be more important.”

"My experience of working with James Craven and IGA Talent is that they are extremely dynamic in how they approach search and, importantly, understand the commercial reality. They get what businesses need when hiring at a senior level. James has always been flexible in how he structures projects, which makes him easy to work with. What sets James apart, though, is his network. He seems to know everyone who matters in the industry and has built genuine goodwill. That reach opens doors that would otherwise remain closed.”

"James reached out to me at a time when I was thinking about coming back to work after a couple of years out. He had all the connections to set up meetings and informal catchups with people to help me get back up to speed on the market and decide where I might want to be, plus great market insight as I went through the process. He was also a really useful sounding board as I went through the decision-making process: He always had a calm and sensibly expressed point of view, he was never pushy and was always a pleasure to talk to. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him both to people looking to hire and people looking to be hired.”
