Spear’s Review

Former Credit Suisse director Christian Armbruester founded Blu Family Office in 2010 to manage the wealth of his own family after growing frustrated with ‘uncoordinated’ private banks. The multi-family office offers clients with assets between £5 million and £50 million access to a wide range of investment products including hedge funds, crypto assets and other alternative investments.

‘We give people very diversified exposure to the liquid investment markets,’ Armbruester tells Spear’s. ‘That’s our sweet spot.’

‘Initially it was just a way to manage our assets more efficiently,’ he explains. ‘It wasn’t until a year later that we were asked by another family whether we could do the same thing for them. And that’s when we started contemplating managing [external] assets.’
