Ken Oiwa, an Investment Manager in Newcastle, is one of only two people in the country to get a distinction in his Securities and Investment Institute exam in Portfolio Construction Theory.

Ken, who has been with Brewin Dolphin for just under two years, is understandably delighted, “To achieve a distinction in a national exam is very satisfying and I believe, is representative of the high standard of training and  development available from my firm.”

Charles May, Managing Director, commented, “Ken’s result was exceptional and he was one of four trainee Investment Managers in Newcastle to pass exams this summer”.

Originally from Japan, Ken was educated in the UK at a school in the midlands and then Leeds University.

He was recruited by Brewin Dolphin after a very successful work experience placement and he has never looked back. “I really enjoy investment management; I like the contact with clients and the work I carry out in analysing companies and market trends which then allows Investment Managers to put together a client’s portfolio of stock, shares and other equity related investments. In addition there is a strong ethos of teamwork and fun which makes working life speed along!”
