Meet Our TeamOur Story
Lysander’s namesake is the Westland Lysander aircraft, originally designed for the Royal Air Force prior to World War Two.
The ‘Lizzie’ found fame during the war as a Special Duties aircraft used for clandestine missions behind enemy lines, where it was known for its short-field landing capabilities.
The Lysander embodies our philosophy that nimble and decisive thinking allows us to consistently reach our targets, regardless of the turbulence in the financial markets.
