Nigel Beidas

Branch Manager

After graduating in Economics in 1982 Nigel worked in London for nine years, starting off as an investment analyst and then moving into pension fund management at a Canadian insurance company. In 1991 he moved to north Wales and joined Nelson Money Managers, where he was responsible for managing income investments on behalf of retired clients. He joined Hargreave Hale in 1997 and became manager of the Bangor branch in 2000.

Nigel took over as fund manager of the Marlborough Extra Income Fund in 2009. He believes his pension fund background, with the emphasis on long term investment returns, is very suitable for this fund, particularly at a time when income generation is of major concern to investors.
