Interests including rugby, music recently forming a rock band full of rebellious 30 something’s who have to be at home in time for dinner. Also learning the piano to satiate my more civilised music cravings. Holds the FPC, IMC and PCIAM.

Andrzej Borkowski
Head of Research
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 investments from the almost infinite choice available.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my young family, walking my Border Terrier, going to the woods, Parkour (Free running), playing guitar and karaoke.
