Investors Trust has announced the appointment of Stuart Cameron as Head of Distribution, EMEA.

Based in Dubai, Cameron takes over from Phil Story who leaves the company after 12 years in the role.

Cameron, who brings more than 25 years of experience in sales, business development, and international distribution across financial services, will lead distribution activities across the region and work closely with advisers and partners to support the firm’s regional distribution strategy and adviser relationships.

Investors Trust said in a statement that Cameron’s appointment reinforces the Investors Trust’s long-term commitment to advisers and distribution partners across the region.

Throughout his career, Cameron has held senior business development and distribution roles with HSBC Global Asset Management, Aberdeen Standard Investments, Alkhair Capital, and Klay Capital.

Having spent the past 18 years living and working in the UAE,  Cameron combines “deep regional knowledge with experience gained across both global and regional institutions, providing a strong foundation for supporting Investors Trust’s continued development across the region”, the statement read.
