Our Founders
John Redwood held senior investment roles at Robert Fleming and NM Rothschild in the 1970s and 1980s. Since, he has been a Pension trustee, Investment Committee member for an Oxford College, Chairman of an investment company and a non-executive Director of a hedge fund and an Investment Trust. An early advocate of tracker funds, he has written extensively on economics and investment.
Christopher Aldous has been involved in wealth management since joining Cazenove in 1981. He has since been a Director of Barclays de Zoete Wedd, an Executive Director of UBS and a Managing Director of Robertson Stephens, the US technology investment bank. He co-founded Absolute Fund Management in 2001, where he managed a fund of hedge funds and was Chief Executive Officer until 2007.
The Late Robert Brown died in November 2008 after a short illness. He worked in investment management for family wealth, charitable endowments and institutional funds since 1972 with Phillips & Drew, NM Rothschild and UBS. Between 1998 and 2004 he was the Managing Director of Chiswell and subsequently the Chief Executive of Sarasin Chiswell.
He was a regular speaker and writer on investment matters. For ten years he wrote the Chiswell Compendium of Investment for Charities, a work of reference highly regarded for its long-term perspective on investment and for the breadth and depth of its comparative analysis of global asset classes. He was a member of the Charity Finance Directors Group, a member of the Management Committee of the Charity Investors’ Group, a member of the Stock Exchange Speakers Panel and the Visiting Fellow in Charity Investment at the South Bank University Business School. He was a Fellow of the Securities Institute and chaired the City Circle of the Forum for European Philosophy.
