We look forward to welcoming the Artorius Zurich team into our investment discovery platform, focused on Smart Capital."

James Phillips, Managing Director and Founding Member at Artorius added: "I have always aspired to be the trusted adviser to my clients and nurture the relationship through regular dialogue. Simply 'listening' to clients' concerns and ambitions has been a privilege and combining Decisive's values, Next-Gen thinking, and performance to build on the Artorius values of 'there must be a better way.' James Phillips is joining Decisive as Senior Partner and Head of Northern Europe.

"I am delighted to be able to announce Artorius's agreement with Decisive," said Ian Marsh, Executive Chairman of Artorius.
