OUR LEGACY
Guiding Principles for Intergenerational Prosperity
Our Founding Philosophy
At Arza Management, our philosophy is rooted in the belief that wealth stewardship is not merely a financial discipline but a familial legacy. We prioritise alignment between family values and investment strategies, ensuring that every decision supports the enduring prosperity of our client families.
Our Founder: A Legacy of Vision
In Memoriam: Andreas P. Agiadis (1955-2024)
Andreas P. Agiadis, our visionary founder, dedicated his life to crafting bespoke wealth management solutions for ultra-high-net-worth families and individuals. With a career spanning over three decades, Andreas brought unparalleled expertise in cross-border asset structuring and family governance. His commitment to discretion and personalised service set the standard for our firm’s enduring relationships.
Early Life & Career
Born in Athens, Greece, Andreas was raised in a family of entrepreneurs and diplomats. He studied economics at the University of Athens and later earned his MBA from INSEAD. Andreas began his career in private banking at Lombard, quickly distinguishing himself through his innovative approach to wealth preservation, and later continued to refine his expertise in senior roles at Credit Suisse and UBS.
Founding of Arza Management
Andreas founded Arza Management with a singular focus: to provide comprehensive wealth stewardship for select UHNW clients. His vision was to integrate traditional values with modern investment strategies, ensuring that family legacies endured across generations.
Continuing the Legacy
Andreas passed away in June 2024, leaving behind a legacy of integrity, wisdom, and dedication. His philosophy continues to guide our firm, as we remain committed to the principles he established: discretion, continuity, and alignment with family values.
Governance Philosophy
Our governance structure is designed to ensure alignment between family values and wealth management strategies. We believe in a holistic approach that integrates family unity-building activities with professional wealth stewardship. This includes regular family council meetings to align long-term goals with investment decisions, ensuring that every action supports the family’s legacy and prosperity.
Philanthropic Commitment
We recognise the importance of giving back to the community. Our philanthropic efforts focus on cultural heritage preservation and educational initiatives in the region. We encourage our client families to participate in these endeavours, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and social impact.
Innovation & Sustainability
We continuously seek innovative solutions that align with sustainable development goals. Our investment strategies incorporate ESG principles, ensuring that our clients’ wealth not only endures but also contributes positively to the environment and society.
As we move forward, we remain committed to the vision Andreas P. Agiadis instilled in us. Our leadership team, comprised of highly experienced professionals with deep expertise in family governance and wealth management, ensures that our founder’s legacy continues to guide our actions. We are dedicated to preserving the trust and confidence of our client families, while innovating and adapting to their specific needs as they continue to evolve and prosper.
