The senior appointment strengthens client-centric investment solutions offering as boutique builds momentum following 2025 launch.
BlueBridge Asset Management Ltd. has appointed Fred Wilkins to lead its Investment Solutions business, marking the firm’s first senior hire since launching in late 2025.
He’s the perfect fit for our culture and long-term vision - Ryan Rogowski
Wilkins, who joins on 2 March, brings more than a decade of financial markets experience, largely focused on designing and implementing outcome-based strategies for institutional and professional investors. He will be responsible for translating BlueBridge’s derivatives-based capabilities into practical portfolio solutions, working directly with clients to construct allocations aligned to specific risk and return objectives.
Wilkins joins from UK boutique asset manager Fortem Capital where he advised and arranged cross asset investments and portfolio protection strategies covering the UK DFM and multi-asset market.
“He’s the perfect fit for our culture and long-term vision,” said Ryan Rogowski, co-founder & director, adding that Wilkins has a strong technical profile in derivatives and structured products, with core values that align with the firm and resonate with clients.
Co-founder & director Eric Bensoussan added: “This appointment strengthens our mission to deliver more predictable and more understandable investment outcomes to our growing investor base.”
The co-founders said client demand for clarity is driving the firm’s Solutions strategy, adding that portfolios are already complex and what clients need are transparent, functional building blocks they can confidently integrate into broader allocations.
Wilkins’ appointment signals the next phase of build-out for the boutique, which plans additional hires across portfolio management, client solutions and technology, alongside further development of its investor platform.
The firm is developing a suite of investment solutions, including defined outcome solutions, systematic strategies, liquid alternatives and segregated managed accounts pending regulatory approval.
