Working at Aurelian

We hire deliberately, and rarely.

Aurelian is a small house, and intends to remain so. New colleagues are introduced to the firm with care, given long apprenticeships, and expected to stay. If that prospect appeals to you, we would like to hear from you.

What it's like to work here.

Custody is a discipline of patience and precision. Our days are quieter than the trading floor, but our standards are higher. We expect every member of the firm, from the most junior clerk to the senior vault officer, to take personal responsibility for the trust our clients place in us.

We pay competitively, train extensively, and promote from within. The average tenure at Aurelian is over fifteen years. Many of our senior officers joined us as graduates.

— 01

The long view

We make decisions on a horizon of decades, not quarters. We expect the same of our people.

— 02

Quiet competence

Confidentiality is not a policy at Aurelian. It is a temperament. Our work is done without fanfare.

— 03

Mutual trust

We extend genuine autonomy to our colleagues, and expect equally genuine accountability in return.

— 04

Respectful candour

We disagree directly, in person, before we disagree on paper. Memos are a poor substitute for a conversation.
