In these roles James was responsible for designing and executing multi-$ billion transactions in the international capital markets.
In 2007, James founded Polygon Capital (now renamed as Polygon Aegis), and successfully executed a value investment strategy, navigating through the global financial crisis until the present day. As at February 2025, Polygon Capital has achieved compounded annual returns on invested capital of 24.5% per annum (using no debt). This 18 year performance history is unmatched at most investment houses and is largely attributable to James’ multi-disciplinary approach to investment and problem solving.

From 2016-2019 he underwent intensive training under the late Master Andzej Gospodarczyk where he studied traditional Japanese and other ancient healing and wellness modalities (including yoga and shiatsu), and gained deep knowledge about how these can be integrated with modern Western healthcare to produce superior outcomes. In 2022 James founded Anasa Wellness, a healthcare and wellness investment company delivering integrated wholistic healthcare and education, and hopes to address shortcomings of conventional Western healthcare.
