Why Aquitaine Wealth Management

Eleanor of Aquitaine* was one of the most influential figures in western Europe during the 12th century.  She was duchess of Aquitaine and subsequently queen of France and England.  As one of the wealthiest and most powerful women of the time, she was an important patron of poets and writers.

Eleanor was an innovator and is said to be responsible for the introduction of built-in fireplaces, first used when she renovated the palace of her first husband Louis in Paris.  The innovation spread quickly, transforming the domestic arrangements of the time*.  https://www.history.com/topics/british-history/eleanor-of-aquitaine

In choosing our team name, we were inspired by Eleanor’s determination and creativity.  We are proud to have established our team with the world’s largest wealth management firm, and aspire to bring Eleanor’s principles to our practice.
