In the early years of Arbuthnot & Latham, it prospered greatly
as a merchant of produce from India. It soon branched out into
finance and lending and by the end of its first 100 years,
Arbuthnot belonged to that distinctive breed of 'merchant banks',
the City's elite, enjoying the special patronage of the Bank of
England. But war and the huge upheavals that shook up the City in
the 20th century forced drastic change upon Arbuthnot. As a small
family-owned bank it was not suited to the evolving world of
international capital. In 1981, the family decided the time had
come to sell out. Arbuthnot was soon fortunate to find a buyer who
prized its long history and banking excellence and under Henry
Angest, a Swiss banker, Arbuthnot recovered and thrived. This
corporate history highlights the enduring attributes of Arbuthnot
Bank that have enabled it to survive through the years of credit
crunch and flourish as a merchant bank whose name continues to
provide a secure and high-quality service for its clients.
