The firm

We get paid for advice,
not for product.

Arché was founded in 2009 by two advisers who left the sell-side because the incentives were pointed the wrong way. We charge a flat advisory fee and hold no inventory. What we recommend, we would do with our own capital — and frequently have.

The work is unglamorous: cash-flow models that survive a bad year, tax structures that hold up to scrutiny, succession plans families can actually talk about. Outcomes, not narratives.

What we do

Four mandates.
One standard.

Most clients begin with one mandate and stay for the rest. Each is led by a principal — never handed to a junior desk.

Strategic advisory

An ongoing seat at your table for the decisions that don't fit a spreadsheet — capital allocation, debt timing, the right size to be. We model the downside first, then the upside.

Capital allocation Scenario modelling Board support

Private wealth

Multi-generational planning for families who have already won and now want to keep it. Tax, structure, liquidity, and the conversations heirs avoid.

Estate & trust Tax structuring

M&A advisory

Buy-side and sell-side counsel for owners doing it once. Valuation you can defend, a process that protects the business, and a price you don't regret.

Sell-side Due diligence

Risk & hedging

Currency, rate, and concentration exposure mapped and managed before it becomes a headline. We stress every position against the year you hope never comes.

Composite of advised mandates, net of our fee, against a 60/40 benchmark. Past performance is not a promise — but it is a record, and we keep one.

How we work

A process, not
a pitch.

Every engagement runs the same four phases. No surprises, no scope creep — you always know which phase you're in and what comes next.

Listen, then map

We start with your number — the one outcome that defines success — and work backwards. No recommendation until we understand the whole picture, including the parts you'd rather skip.

Model the downside first

Before the upside case, we build the bad year — the recession, the divorce, the failed exit — and make sure the plan survives it. If it doesn't hold there, it isn't a plan.

Decide together

We present options, not a single answer dressed as inevitability. You own the decision. We make sure you own it with the full picture in front of you.

Review, relentlessly

Quarterly reviews against the original mandate, in plain language. When the facts change, we say so — and we change the plan before the next meeting, not after.

In their words

They walked us through the worst sale price we could accept before we ever opened the data room. We closed 14% above it. That's the whole job, done quietly.

D. Antonopoulos

Founder · industrial group (exited 2023)

Our family office had six advisers telling us six things. Arché was the only one who started by asking what we actually wanted the money to do. We consolidated to them within a year.

M. Lindqvist

Principal · single-family office

When rates moved against us in 2022, they had already hedged the position we were most exposed to. The call they made eighteen months earlier is the reason we slept that year.
