Raul Renjel
Chartered Wealth Manager & Branch Principal
I was born and bred in London, except for a 3 year history degree in Manchester, which included being president of Manchester University Boat Club.
I travelled a lot when younger, including from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean across South America and all down the pan-American highway through the whole of central America. I am very passionate about skiing and big mountains as well as diving in warm waters.
My interests including rugby and music, having recently formed a rock band full of rebellious 30 something’s who have to be at home in time for dinner. I am also learning the piano to satiate my more civilised music cravings. I currently hold the Chartered Wealth Manager designation.

Andrzej Borkowski
Chartered Wealth Manager & Portfolio Manager
Having graduated from University College London (UCL) in 2003 with a MSci Mathematics with Economics, I spent over five years working within exchange traded derivatives. In this period I traded options and futures across many markets, from Government Bonds and Equities, to Soybeans, Crude Oil and Coffee. This included some time in Chicago, on the open outcry trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT).
I currently hold the PCIAM certificate from the CISI (Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment), the Investment Management Certificate (IMC) from the CFA Institute and the EUREX Trader exam. I enjoy the challenge of finding the best portfolios possible from the almost infinite choice of investments available.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, playing tennis and playing guitar and singing in a band.
