Peter Plaut

Managing Director at Amagis Wealth

Moderator

Peter is a dual American and British citizen who splits his time between New York and London—but his true home is wherever bold ideas are being built. He’s traveled to more than 65 countries, often venturing into the world’s most remote corners. That global curiosity has shaped a 30-year career focused on helping visionary founders turn world-changing ideas into investable, scalable realities.

A recognized leader in global finance, Peter has worked across the buy-side and sell-side, earning accolades including “Top Rising Stars of Hedge Funds,” “Institutional Investor All-American,” and “Euromoney Top Research Analyst.” He’s also held a term membership at the Council on Foreign Relations—testament to his credibility not only in markets, but in macro thinking.

But Peter’s mission has never been just about capital—it’s about catalysts. He specializes in identifying founders and technologies with the potential to reshape industries, particularly where innovation meets human impact. His portfolio spans Real Estate, Med Tech, AI, sustainability, and enabling technologies, and his approach consistently centers on the intersection of breakthrough science and real-world application.

Today, Peter is a Managing Director at Amagis Wealth, which will soon transition into Amagis Capital Management — part of the Amagis Capital group. His expertise in fundraising, product structuring, and business development will contribute significantly to the growing team, especially in regards to multi-family real estate projects in the US, UK, Europe and the Middle East. Stay tuned — more updates to come.

He earned his BS in Management Information Systems, Computer Science, and Economics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he served as President of the Management Honor Society and co-founded the school’s chapter of Zeta Beta Tau.

Outside of the investment world, Peter is a proud father of six—three boys and three girls, including two sets of twins—which gives him a daily masterclass in logistics, negotiation, and long-term thinking.
