Arthur Zankel, Financier, Falls to His Death

A longtime friend and adviser to Citigroup's chairman, Sanford Weill, Zankel was an important player in the historic merger of Citibank and Travelers Group insurance company in 1998.

Died: July 28, 2005

Cause of Death: suicide

Mr. Zankel was a longtime trusted advisor who joined Citigroup's Board of Directors at
its inception in 1986. His experience and judgment helped the company grow from Commercial Credit into Citigroup -- a journey of remarkable accomplishment. Mr. Zankel served Citigroup for more than a decade as chairman of the personnel and compensation committee. As a member of the succession subcommittee, he helped to assure the extraordinarily smooth transition to Citigroup's new CEO and COO structure in 2003. When Mr. Zankel retired from the Board in 2004, Citigroup Chairman Sanford I. Weill said, ''It's not an exaggeration to say that no company approaching our size and scale and depth of management talent has ever had such a successful, virtually seamless transition. Arthur deserves much of the credit.'' http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE7DD1E3FF932A05754C0A9639C8B63

A Wall Street stalwart and a philanthropist for whom Carnegie Hall's newest concert venue is named, Arthur Zankel, fell to his death yesterday from his ninth-floor apartment on the Upper East Side. Police called it an apparent suicide.

With his wife present at his home at 920 Fifth Ave., Zankel, 73, plunged from a window at the rear of the building at 11 a.m. and landed in the central courtyard, police said. Police said Zankel had a pulse when he was taken to New York Hospital but died there.

Friends of Zankel's reacted to his death with shock and described him as a man with a fiendish sense of humor who was at the apex of his career and who beamed about his marriage to his third wife, Judy Zankel, an illustrator, and their new apartment overlooking Central Park.

Five years ago, after leaving First Manhattan and entering semi-retirement, he formed a real estate investment trust called High Rise Capital Management that profited greatly during the real estate boom.

Friends, speaking on background, said Zankel suffered from various ailments, including kidney stones and a rare blood disorder, and was in pain. He was said to have experienced bouts of depression associated with his medical difficulties.

News of his death quickly spread across Wall Street and reverberated around the myriad educational and cultural institutions that Zankel supported.

"Arthur Zankel will be remembered as a kind, caring, humorous, brilliant, and wise person," a prominent attorney, Kenneth Bialkin, said.

Mr. Bialkin, who served on the board of directors of Citigroup along with Zankel, described his close friend as a "classical investor" who was "one of the most respected figures in the financial world."

Zankel was known as a behind-the-scenes master of the market. He made a fortune as an early investor in Berkshire Hathaway, the Warren Buffett company, and served for many years as co-managing partner of an investment banking firm, First Manhattan Company.

A longtime friend and adviser to Citigroup's chairman, Sanford Weill, Zankel was an important player in the historic merger of Citibank and Travelers Group insurance company in 1998.

Mr. Weill, who first met Zankel in 1957, told The New York Sun yesterday in a telephone interview Zankel "really understood the numbers" and was able to "dissect the details of a transaction and could catch things that didn't make a heck of a lot of sense."

"From my point of view, he was probably more helpful to me in what I was able to accomplish than maybe anybody," Mr. Weill said.

For most of his career, Zankel remained a relatively unknown figure outside the investment world. Many of his donations, including those that established charter schools in Brooklyn, were made anonymously, friends said.

It was not until the construction of Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall that Zankel gained name recognition. He donated $10 million toward the construction of the underground concert auditorium, which opened in September 2003.

A relatively small space with a seating capacity of 644 people, Zankel Hall was designed to be a more intimate showcase for lesser- known musicians. Mr. Weill said he solicited the donation and persuaded Zankel to allow Carnegie to attach his name to the concert
hall.

"I suggested it would be great to name this hall for him, and in return, he'd have to do something significant," Mr. Weill said.

"He never needed publicity," Mr. Weill said. "The last eight years of his life, and his marriage to Judy, was the happiest he had. That was part of the excitement."

At the time of his death, Zankel was vice chairman of the board of Teachers College, one of a number of educational and cultural institutions whose investment committees he oversaw.

He also served as trustee at Skidmore College, alma mater of two of his children, and of the Jerusalem Foundation and UJA- Federation. He served on the board of White Mountains Insurance Group.

From the mailbag:

“High Rise Capital Management, a well-regarded $1.5billion RE Securities hedge fund run by David O’Connor and Charles Fitzgerald, put in its year-end letter that they are winding down by 6/30/11. With peak assets under management and great track record, it seems odd.

Paid Notice: Deaths
ZANKEL, ARTHUR

Published: July 30, 2005

ZANKEL--Arthur on July 28, 2005 at age 73. Founding partner of High Rise Capital Management, former director of Citigroup, former comanaging partner of First Manhattan Company, ViceChairman of Carnegie Hall and Trustee of Teachers College. Beloved husband
of Judy. Loving father of Kenneth, Thomas, Mark and James. Cherished grandfather of Maura and Andrew. Devoted brother of Martin and Jeffrey. Services at Frank E. Campbell, 1076 Madison Avenue at 81 Street, Sunday 11:30AM. Contributions in his memory may be made to Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall 881 Seventh Avenue, NY, NY 10019.

ZANKEL--Arthur. The Board and staff of Carnegie Hall mourn the loss of beloved friend and dedicated Trustee Arthur Zankel, who died on July 28, 2005, at the age of 73. Arthur joined the Board of Carnegie Hall in 1992, and for more than a decade provided this institution with expert leadership and sound financial advice, overseeing, in particular, the steady growth of the Hall's endowment fund.
Arthur's unbounded generosity to Carnegie Hall and his unstinting conviction that all lovers of great music should find a home here led to the opening of Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall in September 2003, a watershed event that has created the opportunity for Carnegie
Hall to welcome truly diverse great music from around the globe, and provided a technological platform for outreach to new audiences worldwide. Arthur will be remembered fondly for his genuine warmth, his extraordinary humor, and his uncanny ability to make you feel that you were the most important person in the world. In Judy, he found an equally caring and gracious partner, who shared his deep love of music and his great passion for life. All of us at Carnegie Hall feel personally bereft by this sudden and unexpected loss. We express our heartfelt condolences to Judy, and to James, Kenneth, Mark, Thomas, and the extended family. Funeral services will be
held at Frank E. Campbell-The Funeral Chapel at 1076 Madison Avenue at 81st Street. Sanford I. Weill Chairman of the Board .

ZANKEL--Arthur, financier and philanthropist. Mr. Zankel was a longtime trusted advisor who joined Citigroup's Board of Directors at its inception in 1986. His experience and judgment helped the company grow from Commercial Credit into Citigroup -- a journey of
remarkable accomplishment. Mr. Zankel served Citigroup for more than a decade as chairman of the personnel and compensation committee. As a member of the succession subcommittee, he helped to assure the extraordinarily smooth transition to Citigroup's new CEO and COO structure in 2003. When Mr. Zankel retired from the Board in 2004, Citigroup Chairman Sanford I. Weill said, ''It's not an exaggeration to say that no company approaching our size and scale and depth of management talent has ever had such a successful, virtually seamless transition. Arthur deserves much of the credit.'' Citigroup appreciates his years of dedicated service and extends its condolences to his wife Judy, and sons, James, Mark, Thomas, and Kenneth. A memorial service will be held Sunday, July 31, 2005, at 11:30 AM, at Frank E. Campbell, The Funeral Chapel, 1076 Madison Avenue at 81st Street, New York, New York 10028; 212288-3500.

ZANKEL--Arthur. Teachers College is deeply saddened at the passing of Arthur Zankel, Vice Chairman of our Board of Trustees.
Arthur was a highly intelligent and caring man who never forgot his roots. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a wise counselor who knew what he believed and never took himself too seriously. He was a good and caring friend. He was deeply in love with his wife,
Judy, and his children. He was passionate about the need to improve the lives of the children who have the least. He gave generously of his time and resources to accomplish this. Our world is a better place and our lives have been enriched because Arthur Zankel walked among us. There can be no higher measure of success in life. His passing is a profound loss to all who were touched by his enthusiasm and generosity. Our thoughts are with his wife, Judy, and his four children. Arthur Levine, President John C. Hyland William D. Rueckert Co-Chairs Board of Trustees Teachers College Columbia University

ZANKEL--Arthur. Our hearts are broken over the tragic loss of our dearest friend Arthur. With his wisdom, his warmth and compassion, his sensible advice and his outrageous sense of humor he was such an important part of our lives and our decisions. He was always there for us, ready to take ''a walk in the woods'' or ''a swim in the pool''. Our New Year's weekends will never be the same, but we are so lucky to have those treasured memories of our time together. Our hearts go out to his beloved wife Judy who made him so very happy in the eight years of their marriage. He also felt such pride and love for his boys Kenny, Tommy, Mark and Jimmy, their spouses and his grandchildren. Arthur, we already miss you, and we will never forget all you have been to us. May you rest in peace, dear friend. With all our love. Joan and Sandy Weill

ZANKEL--Arthur. The Alan Greene family deeply mourns the loss of a great friend and confidant, Arthur Zankel. We send our heartfelt condolences to Judy, Kenneth, Tommy, Mark and James. We will miss him greatly. Helen, Alan, Jimmy and Michael

ZANKEL--Arthur. The Board of the New York Foundation mourns the passing of our former trustee, Arthur Zankel. He was a dedicated trustee and a longtime supporter of the work of the New York Foundation.

ZANKEL--Arthur. Our world will never be the same. Our love to Judy and the boys. Kathy & Freddy

azankel.jpgFinancier and philanthropist Arthur Zankel committed suicide on July 28. He was 73.
The native New Yorker earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. He started working for the First Manhattan Co. in 1965, and spent the next three decades amassing a fortune as an
investment manager.

In 2000, Zankel founded the real estate investment firm, High Rise Capital Management, where he was the co-managing partner. He sat on the board of directors at Citigroup Inc. until 2004, when he reached the mandatory age of retirement.

Zankel lived well, but he also believed in helping people follow their dreams through education. A trustee at Skidmore College and Columbia University’s Teachers College, he underwrote Reading Buddies, a tutoring program for Harlem youths.

In the late 1990s, Zankel and his wife donated $10 million to fund a new $100 million venue at Carnegie Hall. Named in their honor, Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall fulfilled Andrew Carnegie’s original plans to create three performance spaces in one location. The 600- seat underground recital space, which offers a wide variety of performing and educational events, opened in 2003.
In his spare time, Zankel took music appreciation classes and often attended events at Carnegie Hall. He also managed the hall’s endowment fund. Under his guidance, it grew nearly sevenfold to $124 million.

Zankel, who was being treated for depression, jumped from the ninth floor of his Fifth Avenue apartment and later died at New York- Presbyterian Hospital. He did not leave a note.

I am deeply touched by the life and death of Arthur Zankel. God bless his family and loved ones.

Doug January 23, 2006 at 9:55 pm
I never knew Arthur Zankle I only read of his life on the front page of the Wallstreet Journal, He had it all Money, Compassion, generousity, so well accomplished, yet so desperate for something real,Dr’s could not fix his pain, specialists or Medicine was useless he needed something to fulfill the empty space he experienced in his life. I can not even begin to have empathy and could not articulate what he felt. Let his life give rise to others who are so succesful and gifted in the ways he was, that as they travel the course of this life.

Real greatness is when you find Jesus to fill the God shaped whole in our hearts that completes us.
when we are great and when we fill that whole with the love of our creator we are greater still. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
God bless Arthurs family and friends and may they be blessed by our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. May Arthur rest in peace.

Darcy Taylor June 2, 2006 at 2:57 pm

We at the National Alliance on Mental Illness send the Zankel family our prayers in this diffucult time. As a leading advocate for mentally illness we understand you pain. May you be conforted in knowing that one day depression will have a cure.

Maud June 3, 2006 at 10:03 am

Love does not obliterate pain but compassion goes a long way to keep the devil dog of depression from the gate. Bless you, and your family. Carnegie’s spirit salutes you. An admirer from Scotland.

Carnegie Hall Benefactor Zankel Dies
Friday, July 29, 2005

NEW YORK (AP) -- Arthur Zankel, the financier who gave $10 million for the Carnegie Hall recital space that bears his name, plunged
to his death from his ninth floor apartment in an apparent suicide, police said Friday. He was 73.

Zankel, Carnegie Hall's vice chairman, died Thursday at New York-Presbyterian Hospital after apparently jumping from his Fifth Avenue apartment, Detective Noel Waters said, confirming a report in The New York Sun. Waters said Zankel jumped around 11 a.m. Thursday and landed in a rear courtyard.

Zankel, a member of the Citigroup Inc. board of directors from 1986 until last year, specialized in real estate investment through his firm, High Rise Capital Management. He served as a co-managing partner of First Manhattan Co. for almost 20 years, until 1997.

Sanford Weill, chairman of Citigroup and of Carnegie Hall's board of trustees, called Zankel "my closest friend and adviser."

Zankel (pronounced zan kell') was being treated for severe depression, Weill told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Zankel's donation helped fund the $100 million venue at Carnegie Hall that opened in 2003. Zankel Hall fulfilled Andrew Carnegie's original vision for three performance spaces at the complex, offering an intimate venue - with seats for about 600 compared with 2,804 in the main Isaac Stern auditorium.

Weill, who is the namesake for Carnegie Hall's third venue, the 268-seat Joan and Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall, said he and Zankel met through a mutual friend 48 years ago.

"We liked each other from the very first meeting. Our relationship became stronger and stronger" personally and professionally, he said.

Zankel loved that the venue that carried his name brought together musicians from all over the world, Weill said.

"He loved reaching out to young people" and broadening "outreach in areas of education and all kinds of music all over the world," he added. "He and his wife, Judy, shared that passion."
The construction of Zankel Hall required the digging of more than 6,300 cubic yards of bedrock - enough to fill 1 1/2 Olympic-size swimming pools. The hall sits about 40 feet below street level, directly under the main auditorium. A remote-control system of lifts, steel trusses and wagons allow artists to rearrange the floor and stage to fit most any performance.

"Arthur Zankel will be remembered as a kind, caring, humorous, brilliant, and wise person," Kenneth Bialkin, who served on the board of directors of Citigroup along with Zankel, told the Sun.

"Arthur did a lot of things that helped the world become a better place. And he was a really good friend to a lot of people," Weill said.

Zankel also was a trustee of the Teachers College at Columbia University and a director of White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd.

In addition to his wife, Zankel leaves four sons from a previous marriage.

Ex-Citigroup banker Zankel dead in fall

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Arthur Zankel, a former Citigroup financier and patron of the arts, died in a fall from the ninth floor of his Manhattan apartment building, a family member said.

Zankel, 73, in a fall from the Fifth Avenue building on Thursday, his son Tom Zankel said.

He had been suffering from depression, The New York Times on Saturday quoted Sanford Weill, a close friend and the chairman of Citigroup (NYSE:C - news) as saying.

Weill recalled him as a friend of 50 years and the "most valued adviser" of his career.

In Response To: Ex-CITIGROUP BANKER ZANKEL DEAD IN FALL (hobie)

Just thinking outloud:

Didn't we have another banker die in a fall like this about 3 years ago??? I remember the news of it was quickly "disappeared" from the media and the original story morphed a number of times before it finally disappeared for good.

Not saying it's connected to this one... but it always catches my interest when perfectly healthy bankers "fall" to their deaths!! Oh but wait... oh yes... on a more careful reading... THIS banker was suffering from depression... Yeah right... I wonder why his friend Weill gave the reporter this line? Was he told to do so to stop people from asking questions?

This kinda makes me think that maybe the man knew something that the rest of us don't know... something so bad that MAYBE he really DID jump because he was afraid to face whatever is coming... What could it be???

Was it personal shame and humiliation? Could he know about something that just MIGHT become public?

Or could it be a world wide depression instead of just on indiVIDual dEpressiOn?

Just thinking out loud!!

Zankel Estate Announces $120 Million in Bequests

June 6, 2006
The estate of the late Arthur Zankel, a longtime Citigroup board member and former co-managing partner of First Manhattan Company, has announced bequests totaling more than $120 million to six New York-based nonprofit organizations and charities.

According to Arthur Zankel's brother Martin, the executor of the estate, the gifts represent the bulk OF the estate and reflect Zankel's lifelong commitment to educational, cultural, and human service causes. The largest bequest, $42 million, was awarded to Skidmore College to support the construction and operation of the Arthur Zankel Music Center on the college's Saratoga Springs campus, along with a scholarship program, the development of a program in arts administration, and other initiatives. In addition, Carnegie Hall will receive $22 million to support the programs and operations of the Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall, the organization's new performance and education venue, while Teachers College at Columbia University will receive $10 million to establish the Arthur Zankel Urban Fellowships — fifty $10,000 scholarships that will be given to both masters and doctoral students with demonstrated financial need.

Also announced were gifts of $4 million to the Society of Illustrators to support its Museum of American Illustration, and $8 million to the UJA-Federation of New York to fund fellowships to enable young people to experience Israel, establish a depression-treatment center in New York, and strengthen services for those in need in New York, Israel, and around the world. Most of the rest of the estate was left to the Zankel Fund, which Arthur Zankel established years ago and which focuses its giving on education and assistance to those in need.

"The gifts that we are privileged to announce today are the culmination of my brother's intense commitment to sharing his good fortune with those who are not so fortunate, and to promote education as the tool for progress, a proposition in which he deeply believed," said Martin Zankel. "He practiced philanthropy as an integral part of his life for almost forty years and was determined that his resources would have an impact on the life of his community."
