Discrete and dependable consulting to investors
and fund managers in the alternatives space
Our founding partners are David Smith and John Kenny who have extensive experience in advising, managing and growing investment businesses over many years. They both have an intellectual curiosity in how the industry works and the difficulties faced by both managers and investors in the hedge fund arena.
The partnership was founded in 2017 in order to provide independent and objective advice to investors and fund managers in the alternatives space. We consult on a range of objectives within the investment and risk process.
David previously served as the Chief Investment Officer of Alternative Investments Solutions at GAM. David also worked as Head of Investment Research and Management at Buck Consultants, and he worked for the investment consultancy division of Mercer Investment Consulting. David has extensive experience of managing both institutional investment products and large teams of professionals in this space.
John has served as a director of the equities businesses of Barclays de Zoete Wedd, Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, and ABN AMRO. He has a strong track record in institutional research and fund management and has experience in setting up regulated fund management entities and advising hedge funds and family offices on investment and structural matters.
The investment world is always changing. New products need to be conceived and designed - both for new investor needs and new investment opportunities.
We find exciting new talent and products in the alternatives investment world. This is driven off decades of experience in sourcing, assessing and backing new managers.
Having a good idea is only the start of the journey. We have experience of developing a good idea and making it into workable and successful product.
We think that distribution is a very undervalued link in the product chain. We advise on target market selection - both by channel and geography.
Everything we do centres on getting to know our partners and understanding how we can help them improve their business outcomes.
We have a huge depth of experience in our areas of operation. Having worked on every aspect of the investment products road-map we think we can help you get from A to B.
We work with you to plan out what you want and how you want to achieve your ambitions. Our aim is to help you deliver that outcome.
