Our Heritage
Honouring the Vision of Edward Langford
“True legacy isn’t measured by the assets you leave behind, but by the clarity of purpose you pass forward.” — Edward Langford
Behind every enduring family office lies a founder whose convictions shape the firm’s culture long after they are gone. For us, that individual is Edward Langford (1961–2018) – a strategist, mentor and champion of purposeful wealth stewardship.
From Global Industry to Private Counsel
After earning a BSc (Hons) in Economics & Management from The Open University, Langford embarked on a distinguished two-decade career with Brit Insurance and other financial institutions before founding Kaveri Capital. His extensive experience in finance and leadership equipped him with a profound understanding of the importance of resilience, governance and client-focused discipline. These lessons became the cornerstone of our approach to serving families.
Guiding Principles He Instilled
Fiduciary Duty Above All
Every recommendation must advance the family’s interests and never those of external shareholders or product providers.
Discretion & Trust
Langford believed that privacy is the foundation of lasting relationships. Confidentiality remains non-negotiable in every engagement.
Continuity Across Generations
Structures should outlast individuals. Our governance frameworks are designed to transfer both wealth and wisdom seamlessly.
Purpose-Driven Capital
“Wealth is only truly preserved when it continually serves a purpose beyond itself,” he often remarked, urging families to align capital with values and impact.
Continuing the Legacy
Edward Langford’s passing in 2018 deepened our commitment to uphold the standards he set. Today, every proposal, investment mandate and family meeting is guided by his foundational question: “Does this decision honour the family’s purpose?”
We remain privately owned, free from external influence, so that his values continue to guide us for decades to come.
