Andrew Trower and Patrick de Vink founded Altus Investment Management in 2003 and are the firm’s owners and executive directors; both have a wealth of experience in asset management and private client financial services. Andrew spent nine years at Schroders before joining Gartmore where he was a senior fund manager responsible for US investments; he also has experience in running long/short US hedge funds. Patrick’s career was originally in private banking; he spent seven years with Adam & Company where he ran their London treasury operation and managed HNW client relationships.  He left there to consult to several financial services firms prior to starting Altus with Andrew.

Andrew and Patrick have developed Altus from a fledgling start-up to what it is today: a well-established, but discreet, wealth manager with a 12 year track record of servicing clients from around the globe, including trusts, charities, sports & entertainment professionals, as well as entrepreneurs and their family investment vehicles. They achieved this over the last decade with an unwavering focus on client service, by concentrating on absolute returns, and by finding innovative solutions to complex problems, always with the highest degree of transparency and integrity.
