Who We Are

Arnett Lanse Waters
Managing Member and Registered Principal
A.L. Waters Capital, LLC

Arnett Lanse Waters is a native Bostonian who grew up in Boston’s historic South End. During his youth, Mr. Waters attended the prestigious Boston Latin School, where he excelled in Latin and Greek receiving the prize for Greek and was awarded the Derby Prize for his excellent debate skills. He later attended Harvard College, where he was awarded the Boylston Prize for excellence in public speaking.

Mr. Waters went on to serve as the Executive Director of the Private Industry Council (PIC) and as an aide to former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of Bank of Boston, Dr. James Howell.

Mr. Waters subsequently shifted from his role in the public service sector and moved into the investment arena at Merrill Lynch. He quickly rose from the ranks of trainee stockbroker and was later named Assistant Vice President of Sales at Merrill Lynch, and later went on to serve as both Assistant Vice President and Vice President of Sales at Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette. Prior to founding his own ventures, he served as Vice President and Senior Vice President of Sales at Shearson, Lehman.

The dramatic increase in rare coins in the 1970s and 1980s convinced Mr. Waters that a value-investing approach existed in the growing marketplace. Therefore, in 1990, he founded Windsor Park Ltd., an international purveyor of high mint state United States gold and silver coins. His recommendations and anticipation of market trends have enabled some clients to receive returns in excess of 17% per year since 1990, which differentiates his performance from that of other private dealers.

Mr. Waters served as the Secretary for the Boston Latin School Association. An avid lover of classical music, he also served as Director and Chairman of the Opera Company of Boston— a distinct honor, as he was the first black person to be named Chairman of a major Boston cultural institution. A tuba player, Mr. Waters is a member of the Quincy Symphony Orchestra and the MIT Summer Philharmonic. He also currently serves as an overseer to The Boston Museum of Science. Mr. Waters retired from playing polo in 2004, where he was a member of the Newport, RI Polo Club. He also has played at Palm Beach, Aiken, SC and in the Dominican Republic.

He resides in Milton Massachusetts with his wife Janet, a Registered Securities Principal, and their children.
