Later, he renamed the company into Trustconsult, and he started trading aluminum. Then in 1994, Anisimov launched his development company Coalco in Switzerland, and soon, he took over the shares of Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant, Achinsk Alumina Refinery and Bratsk Aluminium Plant. Six years later, after the assassination of his daughter, Anisimov sold everything to Renova, but in 2004, he came out of the shadows as a backer of Metaloinvest Holding, together with his fellows Andrei Skoch and Alisher Usimanov. In addition to his fortune, in 2010, he bought shares in 11 Russian alcohol companies from VTB.
