Under the Spotlight: Tara Le Feuvre

As the Oakglen Wealth team continues to grow, we are keen to champion all of our employees, both new and existing. Today we have the pleasure of introducing Tara Le Feuvre, the latest addition to our workforce of finance professionals, who joins our Jersey Wealth Team as an Assistant Investment Manager. In this interview, she shares a glimpse into her hobbies and interests, as well as what drives her professionally and personally.

Thanks for joining us today Tara and a warm welcome to Oakglen Wealth. We would love to find out a bit more about you and introduce you to our ever-growing network of clients, financial advisers and professional connections.

How has your first week at Oakglen Wealth been?

My first week has gone very well, it’s a great office environment and I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone better.

What inspired you to join the team / company?

After meeting with a few members of the team and hearing about the journey of the company and how they operate, it was a really easy decision. I think that it is a great fit for me culturally, and I can clearly see that I am going to benefit greatly by being in such an environment during this stage of my career.

How has it been getting to know your new colleagues so far?

The whole team have been so welcoming and made such an effort for me – I feel really settled already.

What are your career goals and aspirations for the upcoming year?

My main goal for this year is to pass my exams, however, day-to-day I will first and foremost be focusing on getting to know processes and learning how the team works. Following this, I will be learning a lot from the Investment Manager I am working with, aiming to take on a good proportion of their workload. I am also really looking forward to building relationships with clients.

Are you undertaking anything in terms of professional development?

I am currently studying towards the CISI Level 7 Chartered Wealth Manager qualification and will be sitting my first exam of the 3 total this year. It’s a really big step up from the Level 4 exams and has been a shock to the system, but I hope my hard work pays off!

Why did you choose to pursue a career in your field?

My favourite module during my degree was portfolio construction, I have been keen to work with investments ever since. I have worked in several different financial services sectors before finally joining the Investment Management industry with my previous employer.

How would your past colleagues describe you?

I’d hope they would describe me as approachable and helpful; I really like to get on well with the people that I work with.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work and in between study, my main hobby is running. I completed my first marathon in December 2023, and would love to do another one in the next few years, hopefully before I finish my exams.

Describe an interesting hobby or pastime that you have.

Growing up I played a lot of hockey for a local team and the island; however, this took a back seat when I started my degree. Hockey has been replaced with running in my adult life, as I can do this on days and times which suit me and make it as long (or short) as I have time for!

What’s something surprising that not many people know about you?

I don’t think many people would think I am an introvert after meeting me, but I do enjoy spending time on my own at the weekend to re-charge my batteries.

Who are some of your biggest influences?

I’d say my biggest influence is my Mum, I really admire her attitude towards life and the way she treats others.

What type of books / movies do you enjoy most?

My reading has been limited to textbooks over the past couple of years, but I do enjoy watching movies when I am not studying. I love comedies and thrillers, but any movies based on wars throughout history are my favourite.

Do you have any creative outlets or interests?

I am not a very creative person at all, if I’m not revising or running, I’ll probably be in a coffee shop!

What are some of your favourite local spots to visit?

I don’t have any favourite places, however making up new running routes and discovering new quiet country lanes is something I really enjoy.

What is your favourite food?

I am quite a foodie and really enjoy eating out with friends and family. Pasta and chocolate are two foods which I always find enjoyment in!

Thanks again for sparing us your time today Tara and we wish you all the best in your role at Oakglen Wealth.

Investments may have no public market or only a restricted secondary market. Where a secondary market exists, it is not possible to predict the price at which investments will trade in the market or whether such market will be liquid or illiquid. As such, for investments not listed or traded on any exchange, pricing information may be more difficult to obtain, and the liquidity of the investments may be adversely affected. A holder may be able to realise value prior to an investment’s maturity date only at a price in an available secondary market. The issuer of the investment may have entered into contracts with third parties to create the indicated returns and/or any applicable capital protection (in part or in full). The investment instrument's retention of value is dependent not only on the development of the value of the underlying asset, but also on the creditworthiness of the Issuer and / or Guarantor (as applicable), which may change over the term of the investment instrument. In the event of default by the issuer and/or Guarantor of the investment, and / or any third party the investment any income derived from such contracts is not guaranteed and you may get back none of, or less than, what was originally invested. Parties other than the Issuer or Guarantor (as appropriate) mentioned in this document (for instance the Lead Manager, Co-structurer, Calculation Agent or Paying Agent) do neither guarantee, repayment of the invested capital nor financial return on the investment product, if nothing is indicated to the contrary. Any capital protection given is usually an inherent part of the product; provided through the use of options, futures or other derivative products. You may have to accept smaller returns on an investment relative to a direct investment in the underlying index, basket, etc. because of the costs involved in providing the capital protection. Such capital protection normally only applies if the investment is held until maturity. The amount of initial capital to be repaid may be geared, which means that a fall in the underlying index or securities may result in a larger reduction in the amount repaid to investors. Alternative investments, derivatives or structured products are complex instruments that typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. Structured products carry counterparty risk, in that in the event of default by the issuer you may lose some or all of your capital invested even when the product carries capital guarantees. Where this document relates to emerging markets, such investments should be made only by sophisticated investors or experienced professionals, who have independent knowledge of the relevant markets, are able to consider and weigh the various risks presented by such investments and have the financial resources necessary to bear the substantial risk of loss of investment in such investments.
