Who we are

Established in 2016, Alan Howard Consultancy is a specialist advisory firm dedicated to helping professional traders and investors build disciplined, repeatable strategies across equities, FX, crypto, and commodities.

We combine deep research with structured risk controls—clear mandates, position-sizing frameworks, staged de-risking models, and execution playbooks—so your performance compounds over time instead of relying on one-off trades.

As an independent, advisory-only partner, we don’t manage pooled funds or accept execution rebates. Our mission is to design, implement, and oversee the operating system that powers your strategy:

• Risk Frameworks: Mandates, budgets, and drawdown bands
• Position Sizing: Volatility-targeted units, conviction bands, and hard caps
• De-Risk & Exits: Profit-lock stages, time-outs, and adherence tracking
• Execution & Costs: Venue and timing playbooks, slippage and fee monitoring, borrow KPIs
• Governance & Reviews: Weekly operations, monthly investment committees, next-action tracking
• Analytics: Dashboards, performance attribution, variance analysis, and AI-assisted reviews

After stepping down as CEO of Brevan Howard in 2019, Alan Howard focused on his own trading and new investments in digital assets and blockchain. He backed One River Digital Asset Management, which made large institutional purchases of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and became a major shareholder in CoinShares International. He also established Alan Howard Consultancy in 2016 as a private advisory firm that went global in 2024, offering research-based support to professional traders and institutional clients. This move showed his ability to adapt and lead in the changing world of finance.
