Management team
Rupert A.S. Montagu GENERAL PARTNER
Rupert co-founded Montagu Newhall Associates in 2000, and manages the Company's office in London, England. Rupert's close relationships and experience in the private equity industry have proved instrumental in gaining access to a number of funds raised by top-tier venture capital firms. Rupert continues to take part in managing and investing Montagu Newhall funds; however, he has transitioned to a reduced time commitment, spending half of his time on Montagu Newhall activities and the other half of his time on unrelated, non-competitive activities.
From 1998 to 2000, Rupert was Director of Client Relations at Altius, which advises large institutional investors on private equity fund investing. From 1988 to 1992 he was Marketing Manager in the Investment Management Division of Hambros Bank in London, where he was responsible for marketing the Bank's pension fund management service and for developing investment products targeted at the Bank's institutional and private client investor base. Between 1994 and 1997 Rupert was Marketing Manager for Brown-Forman Corporation in London. Rupert is a non-executive director of Polar Capital Technology Trust, a London-based investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Rupert has an MA (Hons.) from Edinburgh University in Scotland and an MBA from London Business School
