In 1990, Lord Bridport, then a managing director at Shearson Lehman Hutton Finance (SLHF) in Geneva, began to wonder whether he could make a living in Switzerland as an independent fixed-income agency broker. He would, he thought, take no positions at any time, but simply attach himself to the investor, and “help him in the jungle”.
