ABI appoints chief investment lobbyist

The ABI has appointed web entrepreneur and journalist Jonathan Davies as its chief investment lobbyist, according to the Financial Times.

The founder of the private shareholder website Independent Investor will serve as the ABI’s new director of investment affairs.

He takes the place of Peter Montagon who left the ABI for the Financial Reporting Council this year.

Davis said he saw the ABI investment committee as one of the main lines of communication between institutional investors and board rooms.
