Aiden Campbell

What attracted you to a career in wealth management?

I had always aimed to work in financial services. Having achieved a BA (Hons) in Finance from the University of Stirling, I was able to gain excellent experience. I took part in the 'AmplifyMe' Student Trading Bootcamp, gaining hands-on exposure to portfolio construction and market behaviour. I then wrote my thesis on self-built asset portfolios I created and analysed relative to benchmarks.

Alongside my studies, I worked as a Personal Banker with Lloyds Banking Group. After graduating, I joined Allianz as part of their graduate programme, earning the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) Certificate. I then moved into a High-Net-Worth Corporate Broking role at Marsh McLennan. Currently, I am an Associate of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) and in the process of completing the Level 4 Investment Advice Diploma.

For me, wealth management brings together everything I enjoy - markets, relationship building with our fantastic financial advisers, technical problem solving, and supporting through clarity rather than complexity.

How do you approach your role on a daily basis?

I aim to bring structure, clarity, and genuine partnership to every adviser interaction. Each day starts with understanding the needs and priorities of the firms I support - whether that's helping position discretionary investment solutions, working through complex client scenarios, or ensuring advisers have direct access to the right investment managers within Quilter Cheviot.

I approach the role with a blend of technical discipline and relationship-driven thinking. My background across banking, insurance, and high-net-worth corporate broking taught me the value of being proactive, well-prepared, and responsive, and I carry that into my work by making sure advisers feel supported rather than 'managed'.

What are your interests outside of work?

I have a real passion for animal welfare and the study of human–animal relationships. In my spare time, I achieved a distinction in a Master of Science Degree in Anthrozoology at

the University of Stirling, specialising in the interactions between humans and non‑human primates, particularly chimpanzees. This interest has led me to volunteer and carry out research in settings such as Blair Drummond Safari Park, and I continue to stay involved in this field where I can.

Animals play a big role in my personal life too. I have two rescue dogs, Cole and Harlow, both from Dogs Trust, who are experts at ensuring most of my free time is spent entertaining them with toys and long walks.
