Bio
Alex Jarman
Orlando has supported us for several years to further our mission to mobilise capital for social purpose. We have built an enduring partnership with Fairwater that has helped us to design and deliver financial solutions for charities and NGOs. He has contributed his time and structuring experience to build products that enable social purpose organisations to benefit from unrestricted, unsecured funding at scale. His values of giving back are readily apparent and he has been a great asset, both in terms of his expertise and commitment.

I have worked for almost 4 years with Orlando, first when when he used to execute trades for my team as a trader and following that when he joined my team as a portfolio manager. All through those years, Orlando was the best asset we had where he often beat the price targets we set for him, and his added value to our portfolio management team was quite sensible. Furthermore, it was quite interesting to work with Orlando thanks to his challenging personality which triggered intellectual discussions within the team on several occasions. I highly recommend Orlando as I am sure he will be a great asset in a portfolio management team.
