Investec adds senior hire to financial services team

Investec Bank (Investec) has appointed Tom Lewin to lead its FIG (Financial Institutions Group) M&A advisory team. 

His appointment will be followed by two further FIG advisory hires, to be announced in the coming months.

Lewin joins from KMPG, where he was a partner in the Financial Services M&A team. He previously worked at Barclays and Rothschild, and has extensive experience advising on M&A activity for corporate and private equity clients.

At Investec, he will lead the bank’s FIG advisory offering, working with public, private and sponsor-backed clients.

The M&A advisory offering complements a highly ranked team of FIG analysts: Ian Gordon (Banks), Ben Cohen (Insurance) and Rahim Karim (Diversified Financials).

Lewin says: “The thing I’m most excited about is the potential. Across its different business areas, Investec has deep expertise and relationships with financial services companies of all sizes. This represents a huge untapped resource, and with a dedicated M&A offering advisory offering we will be able to unlock significant additional value for our FIG clients.”

Jonathan Arrowsmith, Head of Advisory at Investec, says: “By bringing in Tom to lead our FIG advisory offering, we’re building a dedicated, specialist franchise. We see significant growth in this sector, and we’re pleased to be bringing someone with Tom’s experience on board to lead it.”
