Rachel Elwell
The Architect
Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.

“So in investment parlance, does that make the investment advisor not the investment manager? Well, we do both.

“To understand the investment approach, the motivation, the challenges and the opportunities such scale bring, we're delighted to welcome Rachel ALCEO of Border to Coast. Rachel has taken us nearly a year to pin you down, but you're here. Welcome. Thank you. It's brilliant to be here. I'm really looking forward to it. Great.”
“As we learn from our interviews with Ontario teachers, On the Australia Future Fund, the consolidation of pension assets into sizable pools can offer scale, access and reach, as well as much needed capital for the domestic economy.”
“I think probably the highlight of my years at PwC was I was seconded to the Russian government and worked with them on their pension reform. That was just after I'd qualified as an actuary. So I was out there for about eight months.”
