Neither of us feels that we wish to pass on that level of wealth to our children, and our admiration for the ideals and aims of the pledgers has thus made it easy for us to sign up."

Pledge letter

Dear Warren,

Claudia and I were both lucky enough to grow up in happy families where both scholarship and business acumen were respected. I have been fortunate enough to pursue a fascinating career in financial markets, which has led to our accumulating an unexpected level of wealth.

We are honoured to be able to join such a terrific group and to lend our limited weight to the cause.
