Guernsey-based RAW Capital Partners appoints Peter Grange as chief marketing officer

RAW Capital Partners has appointed appoints Peter Grange as chief marketing officer.

The Guernsey-based investment management firm, through its RAW Mortgage Fund, provides specialist mortgages to foreign nationals and UK expats looking to invest in UK buy-to-let property, as well as mortgages for Channel Islanders.

The fund has a nine-year track record of providing investors up to 8.75% floating annualised returns.

RAW Capital Partners doubled in size in 2023, now employing over 40 members of staff in Guernsey, Southampton, and London.

Grange joins the business as it looks to grow the RAW Mortgage Fund from £200m to more than £1bn in the coming years.

Grange has 25 years’ experience working within agencies and in-house for financial services firms as well as innovative fintech scale-ups.

He recently returned to Guernsey after two years in London where he worked as head of marketing at Shojin, a UK property investment platform scale-up with investors from over 50 countries.

Prior to that, Grange was the founder and chief executive officer of a creative agency called Oi, which had over 45 staff across four locations – Guernsey, Jersey, UK, and Philippines. He sold the agency in 2021 after 17 years.

Some of Grange’s most notable achievements include growing Collins Stewart Wealth Management (now Canaccord Genuity) from £4bn to £10bn assets under management (AUM). He also helped HSBC International increase market share for their credit card, deposit and mortgage products around the world.

Ben Nichols, interim managing director of RAW Capital Partners, said: “We’re delighted that Peter has joined the team at RAW Capital Partners and we’re looking forward to benefitting from his expertise and experience as we continue to grow our business.”

Grange added: “I love everything about RAW Capital Partners – their vision, mission, values, energy, ambition, innovative culture, products, services and ESG policy. I’m excited to have joined this rapidly growing business and am keen to contribute to the growth of the brand, raising awareness of the RAW Capital Partners offering among investors, brokers and borrowers internationally.”
