Tom Bonham Carter, Partner

Tom Bonham Carter is co-founder of Armstrong Bonham Carter LLP (ABC), an advisory business, which assists the boards of listed or private, government and voluntary organisations in the UK or overseas to maximise their effectiveness in creating value for their shareholders, the taxpayer or beneficiaries. Prior to joining ABC, Tom was Managing Director of Gow Board Consulting.

Tom has extensive experience, both domestically and internationally, of leading successful businesses in the highly regulated investment management industry for Barclays and BZW. Prior to being a manager of investment management businesses, he was a fund manager investing in UK and Far Eastern equities. As an investment manager, one of the key areas in which Tom focused was the effectiveness of senior management and their Boards in the "development and implementation of corporate strategy and in turn how those strategies met the interests of institutional investors’ needs."
From 1998 to 2004, Tom ran the discretionary fund management business of Barclays Stockbrokers. Whilst there he helped create one of the UK’s most profitable private client fund managers. Prior to that, he was Chief Executive of Barclays Global Investors in Hong Kong, which was then one of the largest and leading institutional investment managers in the region. He had earlier moved to Asia in 1994 when he managed one of the first six mutual fund companies to be set up in Thailand.

In the late 1980s, Tom managed the smaller companies’ team for BZW Investment Management, which was at that time one of the largest institutional smaller company teams in the City.

Before his career in investment management, Tom Bonham Carter attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and served with the Irish Guards, mainly in Germany. He holds an MA in Economics from Magdalene College, Cambridge.
