Entrepreneur’s Investment Office
Entrepreneur’s Investment Office was formed in London in 2016 by Nick Levitt, who brought structuring and private-banking experience from HSBC to the challenge of serving entrepreneurial wealth. The firm is owned by a group of entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals and operates from six offices spanning London, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, New York, Toronto, and Geneva. Chairman Charles de Boissezon formerly led HSBC Private Banking in Hong Kong and served as CEO of Hinduja Bank (Switzerland), and the senior team includes executives with backgrounds at Cantor Fitzgerald, Prudential, and American Express. EIO’s signature move is a cross-asset exchange: it structures transactions that convert illiquid assets — real estate, private company stakes — into large liquid positions such as Fixed Income, currencies, or ETFs, then uses leverage to enhance returns. On the liquid side, the firm advises on algorithmic and arbitrage trading strategies across gold, oil, FX, and indices, preferring to maintain a small roster of high-conviction programs rather than a broad portfolio. EIO does not custody investor capital; instead it partners with a curated and regularly reviewed panel of global banks and prime brokers to execute strategies. Confirmed investments span early-stage to growth-stage ventures across fifteen sectors, from PropTech and FinTech to WaterTech and ClimateTech, with the firm participating via direct co-investments, SPVs, private credit, infrastructure, and secondaries. The firm operates as an SEC Exempt Reporting Adviser and is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the Dubai Financial Services Authority. In April 2025 it hosted a London investor event drawing principals from LemVega Capital, The Private Office of Sheikh Ahmed bin Faisal Al Qassimi, and De Bacci Capital. The EIO Group also encompasses Demeter, chaired by Stuart Lever, a private investor who sold his family steel-trading business to Macsteel Group and later served as regional CEO for the Middle East. Chief Securities Officer Matthew Stewart oversees trading, and the firm’s COO & CRO Ameet Saldanha manages risk and operations. EIO’s structural difference is its role as an outsourced structuring desk: it constructs bespoke leveraged solutions around existing assets rather than managing commingled funds, and every strategy is executed through third-party bank infrastructure — a model that aligns with the capital-efficiency demands of entrepreneurial families while avoiding the balance-sheet footprint of a traditional asset manager.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Entrepreneur’s Investment Office?
Founder and CEO Nick Levitt sets the firm’s strategic direction alongside Chairman Charles de Boissezon, the former CEO of HSBC Private Banking in Hong Kong. Day-to-day trading oversight falls to Chief Securities Officer Matthew Stewart, while the COO & CRO Ameet Saldanha handles risk management. The senior team’s collective background spans HSBC, Cantor Fitzgerald, Prudential, and American Express, and the firm runs a small number of high-conviction strategies rather than a broad portfolio.
How does Entrepreneur’s Investment Office source and structure its deals?
EIO acts as a cross-asset structuring desk: it designs bespoke transactions that exchange illiquid assets — real estate, private companies — for large liquid positions such as Fixed Income, currencies, or ETFs, then layers on leverage to enhance returns. The firm does not custody capital; it partners with a curated panel of global banks and prime brokers that execute the strategies, and it regularly reviews and upgrades the panel.
Is Entrepreneur’s Investment Office a single-family or multi-family office?
It is structured as a multi-family office owned by a number of entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals. EIO advises institutional and qualified investor entities globally, often in long-term advisory relationships that begin when an investor brings an unsolved financial issue or objective to the firm.
Does EIO participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
EIO’s investment-type coverage spans direct co-investments and SPVs, private equity, private credit, hedge funds, secondaries, infrastructure, and digital assets. The firm’s structuring DNA means it tends to prefer designing a tailored solution rather than committing to a conventional blind-pool fund, though it can access fund structures when they fit an investor’s objective.
What investment stages does Entrepreneur’s Investment Office typically target?
Confirmed transactions reach across early-stage, growth, and startup stages, with a focus on fifteen sectors that include PropTech, FinTech, ClimateTech, WaterTech, and Digital Health. Because EIO starts with the investor’s objective and then structures around it, stage allocation is driven by the underlying asset exchange rather than by a top-down venture allocation model.
How is Entrepreneur’s Investment Office related to Demeter?
Demeter is a group company of EIO, chaired by Stuart Lever, a private investor who sold his family steel-trading business to the Macsteel Group and later served as regional CEO for the Middle East. The relationship extends the EIO Group’s capability set while keeping Demeter under separate chairmanship.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The firm has not publicly disclosed the specific industrial origins of its founding families’ wealth. It states that it is owned by a number of entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals, and its leadership team includes former operators who sold businesses in sectors such as steel trading and private banking.
