We are pleased to announce that two of our senior investment managers, Rachel Blythe, Head of Model Portfolios, and Shane Bennett, Head of Investment Strategy, have been named in Investment Week’s Leaders List 2026, which recognises the contribution of senior fund selection investment leaders.
This annual list identifies the most influential fund selectors and research professionals across the UK investment industry. Inclusion is based on a rigorous selection process that considers assets under influence, career trajectory, and, crucially, a commitment to driving positive change within the sector.
At Walker Crips, our investment process is built on the foundation of rigorous analysis and forward-thinking leadership. Rachel and Shane’s inclusion in this list is a testament to their dedication to delivering superior client outcomes and their ability to navigate an increasingly complex global market.
This recognition by Investment Week highlights not only the individual expertise of Rachel and Shane but also the collective strength of our research and selection framework.
We would like to congratulate both Rachel and Shane on this well-deserved achievement.

Important Note
No news or research content is a recommendation to deal. It is important to remember that the value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invest. If you have any doubts about the suitability of any investment for your circumstances, you should contact your financial advisor.
