Anthony Michael Arnold-Boakes (H. 1957-62)

His earlier positions were at Nordea Bank; directorships (as a securitisation specialist) at First Mortgage Securities, the capital markets issuer of which he was a founder member; and senior assistant director in the banking department at Morgan Grenfell, the leading accepting house and merchant bank subsequently bought by Deutsche Bank in the 80s.  During the early period he advised clients in London and further afield, including in Antwerp, Brussels and Johannesburg; and he served the AMP, then the largest life office in the southern hemisphere, as an investment manager in Sydney.

Articles of indenture and qualification at KPMG, the major firm of chartered accountants, followed philology at UCL and school at Brighton College, where he enjoyed embarrassing perennial luck with the Jenkin-Jones open prize for classics and form prizes in French, Russian, Greek, and Latin, suffering with amusement his nickname, "Horace".
