Stand for excellence

Arbour is where talented and dedicated people enhance their fundraising activities.

We marshal relationships, support the fundraising process, and drive success for Arbour Partners, managers and investors. We only work with experienced partners who can make a difference for managers, LPs and, of course, themselves.

Stand together

Everything we do is built on relationships – the true drivers of success in our business.

Fund managers and Arbour Partners work together when it’s right for them. Our Partners must believe a manager’s fund is what LPs in their region are looking for. The Arbour platform then supports this relationship throughout the fundraising process.

When Arbour, Partners and managers stand together, great things happen.

“The team is always on hand to help and, in many ways, their biggest value-add is great cooperation.”

Sandra Stohler, Arbour Partner, Switzerland
