Gilbert de Botton (16 February 1935 – 27 August 2000) was an Egyptian-Israeli-Swiss financial pioneer, who is considered the inventor of the open architecture model of asset management,[3] whereby a financial institution offers third-party products to their clients.[4] He was also a prominent art collector.[5]
