Rokos will provide an initial £130m in funding to the university, plus an extra £60m that will be matched by the university to create what will be known as the Rokos School of Government. Rokos is a 55-year-old British investor and philanthropist who lives in the UK and founded global multi-asset investment fund Rokos Capital Management. He won a scholarship to Eton College after attending a state primary school, and studied mathematics at Pembroke College, Oxford. He previously provided financial support for scholarships at Eton and initiatives linked to Pembroke College. For me, there can be no better home for the Rokos School of Government than Cambridge University with its long tradition of scientific innovation and synergistic culture", he added.
