Annamaria Koerling

Spear's Review

Annamaria Koerling plied her trade at Cazenove and became head of wealth management at C. Hoare & Co. before co-founding Owl Private Office in 2017.

The firm subsequently underwent a 'de-merger' to allow its key figures to specialise in the type of work and client-base that suits them best. This gave rise to Delfin Private Office, 'an overarching advisory business offering family office services to global families', where Koerling is managing partner.

Anyone seeking to understand Koerling's approach to investing could do worse than pick up a copy of Spear's magazine, where she writes a regular column that explores the issues affecting the markets and those who participate in them. Recent topics have ranged from the importance of due diligence to the nature of risk and the rise of retail day-traders.
