James Arthey

Spear’s Review

James Arthey has been with Barclays since 2008. He operates within the bank’s family office team, working closely with more than 50 UHNW families across 20 different countries to help them achieve their financial ambitions and create wealth management strategies. 

He leads a small team that is responsible for bringing new families into the firm’s family office offering; helping to establish investment portfolios for family offices; and reviewing current family office investment structures and making improvements. 

For Arthey, communication is key, particularly in times of market instability. ‘On the investment side, we will already have put in place a very sophisticated strategy around managing risk, and it’s all about reminding them of the airbags and safety belts that we’ve got in place,’ he says.
