Jeffrey Ellington
Corporate Asset Management · 30 Years on the Desk
Jeffrey Ellington has spent three decades at the centre of global finance, advising companies, boards, and private clients through some of the most important market cycles of the modern era.
He began his career in 1995 on the foreign exchange desk at Barclays Capital in Canary Wharf, where he developed an early understanding of international capital flows, currency markets, and the pace of institutional finance.
In 2001, Jeffrey moved to New York to join the corporate solutions group at Goldman Sachs in lower Manhattan, helping FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies shape balance sheet strategy, financing plans, and long-term capital programmes.
In 2011 he was named Managing Director of Corporate Advisory at a leading Wall Street institution. Three years later, with his brother James, he became a partner in Generation Management — built for families, founders, and public-company boards who value long-term thinking, discretion, and institutional-quality guidance.

James Ellington
IPOs · Equities · Commodities & Metals · 20 Years on the Desk
James Ellington has built his career at the meeting point of public markets, real assets, and long-term wealth creation.
He began in 2005 on the equity capital markets desk at Morgan Stanley in London, drawn from the start to businesses with tangible value behind them — metals, mining, energy, infrastructure, and companies connected to the real economy.
By 2010, he had led or co-advised on eleven premium listings across the London Stock Exchange and Euronext. Through the 2010s, he expanded into precious metals, listed commodity equities, and physical allocations held through London and Zurich vaulting systems.
That philosophy became central to Generation Management. James brings a market-facing perspective to the firm, guiding clients across IPO strategy, listed equities, commodities, metals, and hard-asset allocation.
