The value of your investments and the income received from them can fall as well as rise. You may not get back the amount you invested.

Partner, Deputy Chairman | London
William van Straubenzee

William, or Willie as he’s better known, is the Deputy Chairman and a founding member of James Hambro & Partners. He was instrumental in establishing the investment process that has underpinned our progress and success. After graduating from Oxford, and a short stint in the shipbroking industry, Willie joined Morgan Grenfell as analyst, portfolio manager and ultimately director of the Investment Division. He has been closely involved in private wealth and charity investment management for over 35 years as well as being a Trustee of St Dunstans (now Blind Veterans UK) and the Special Boat Service Association. Willie is very proud to have helped create a firm whose values and aspirations are still as manifest now as they were on the day of foundation. He is inspired by his father who had the perfect balance of principles, modesty and determination, along with a great sense of humour – an unbeatable combination.
