Also named a managing director, Morton will work in the firm’s Valuations Services team. He will focus on the financial services sector, and leverage his 25 years of experience in investment banking with significant expertise in valuation opinions, operating models, risk management, cost transparency, control frameworks and compliance.
Prior to joining Duff & Phelps Morton worked at accounting and consulting giant KPMG, and prior to that he worked at several investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, Nomura, J.P. Morgan and Barclays.
Commenting on the additions, Michael Weaver, London-based Managing Director and Head of Valuation Advisory EMEA at Duff & Phelps, said: “We’re delighted to have Marcus and Albert join our team of valuation experts in the United Kingdom.”
