Artorius Family Office
Artorius Family Office was established in 2014 by James Phillips and a group of financiers who had previously worked at Credit Suisse. The firm provides wealth planning, investment management, governance and consolidated reporting to multiple families. It remains partner-owned after its 2024 acquisition by LGT Wealth Management UK. The firm allocates across private equity, private credit, real estate and infrastructure. It executes direct co-investments and SPVs alongside fund commitments and secondaries. Confirmed positions include early-stage and growth companies in AI/ML and ESG themes. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America and the Middle East. Artorius also maintains verified carbon credits from the Tambopata-Bahuaja Biodiversity Reserve. The firm employs professionals across four offices in Manchester, London, Yorkshire and Lancashire, plus a Zurich location. It maintains memberships in PIMFA and supports local food-bank initiatives and the Wye and Usk Foundation. In 2024 LGT Wealth Management UK acquired Artorius to expand its UK multi-family office presence. Artorius separates its investment management from philanthropic vehicles through distinct governance structures. The firm’s FCA regulation and partner ownership create a conflict-free advisory model that differs from bank-owned platforms.
