A boutique advisory firm.
For Professional Clients Only. Partnering with select clients in the investment management industry.
KBDC is a boutique advisory firm, working with select clients across the investment management industry. Our experience varies from working with start-up hedge funds through to multi-billion dollar institutional asset managers, across quantitative and fundamental strategies in multiple asset classes and geographies.
First and foremost, we work with our clients to understand their business goals and how they can establish an effective strategy to achieve them, whether it is business development, capital raising, or diversifying by channels.
Our key insight is simple: high quality managers with differentiated propositions, who understand and approach business development and capital raising in a thoughtful and client-centric way, can build long lasting, true partnerships with allocators.
Our Team
Daniel Cole
Founder & Managing Director
Dan has spent over 19 years in the financial services industry, developing businesses and acting as a specialist liason between managers and allocators. The education and experience that he has received along the way has been varied and extensive.
After accepting Goldman Sachs in 2004, he spent seven years in different roles, including in the Quantitative Investment Strategies team in GSAM where he lived through the ‘quant quake’ in 2007.
He moved to Highbridge Capital Management to build a USD7bn UCITS alternatives business, largely based on statistical arbitrage strategies.
Dan joined Hutchin Hill in 2015 to run the multi-billion dollar International client business, serving several of the firm’s largest clients and consultant relationships.
In 2018, Dan started KBDC Consulting with a simple idea: partner with high quality investment managers to build businesses and offer differentiated solutions that allocators need..
