Dawn Hyams

Director, Houghton Consulting


A consultant to asset and wealth management firms for over a decade, working directly with clients or through selected agency relationships as a subject matter expert on investment management.

Expertise: product governance including FCA and MIFID II regulatory requirements; product and investment marketing; investor communications; deep investment knowledge.

As a senior consultant to The Wisdom Council, I work with a wide range of financial services firms offering advice and support on a range of topics. I lead TWC’s relationship with the Investment Association and sat on the FCA’s Fund Objectives Working Group offering a customer perspective on the AMMS and remedies – talking to customers and their advisers about new product and services or general attitudes to saving and investing provides invaluable insight into how they view the industry.

Experience: more than 20 years as an asset management industry practitioner working across retail and institutional markets, asset classes, investment vehicles and geographies.

Senior marketing roles at Threadneedle, Henderson, Fidelity and Aviva Investors; hands-on experience of building and leading teams and a keen commercial awareness.

Happy to work on a retained or project by project basis

Open to approaches about iNED roles subject, naturally, to any potential conflicts of interest.
