Auckland born and then growing up in Dunedin, Richard joined the firm at the start of 2011 after a long stint in the UK working for major investment banks. Richard is a member of Rutherford Rede’s external Investment Committee and the internal Compliance Committee. Richard is dedicated firstly to his young family and, secondly to lowering his golf handicap (currently 17.3) – the balance between these two things can be intrepid at times, luckily his wife Sarah is mostly understanding! When time allows (and at home DIY projects aren’t too pressing) he enjoys keeping active with a plethora of outdoor activities with his family including mountain biking, snowboarding and wake boarding. He’s also a keen runner and has completed the Paris and Auckland marathons together with a number of half-marathons at home and around the world.
