Nancy Curtin

Spear’s Review

Nancy Curtin joined Alvarium, now called AlTi, in 2020, having previously been chief investment officer of Close Brothers, the London-based wealth manager and specialist merchant bank.

Prior to that, the Princeton and Harvard Business School graduate held senior roles at the hedge fund Fortune Asset Management as well as Internet Finance Partners, a specialist venture capital business. She says she has also ‘built private equity businesses’ in Russia and Germany in previous roles at Schroders and Barings. It is this varied background, she says, that has given her a wealth of experience in working with almost every asset class.

As well as market knowledge, Curtin talks about the need to understand the ‘emotional centre’ of her clients. ‘It helps give them that confidence that you’re the person they can turn to when they have any kind of wealth structuring or wealth investment need,’ she says.
