Fenchurch Advisory Partners has joined hands with Broadhaven Capital Partners under a definitive agreement to unite their businesses and become a leading global advisory company concentrating solely on financial services and financial technology. This merger will combine Fenchurch’s strong foothold in Europe with Broadhaven’s well-established franchise in North America, thereby greatly broadening the firms’ portfolios of mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and strategic advisory services. The new entity will have more than 110 investment bankers dedicated to financial services, of whom 30 senior managing directors and managing directors, will be based in London, New York, Chicago, and Paris offices.

It is anticipated that the deal will not only speed up Fenchurch’s growth in the U.S. market but also enhance its capacity to assist clients in the face of increasing cross-border activities, regulatory changes, and technological advances. “We have valued Broadhaven for many years, as we share similar values centered on client centricity, and we are delighted that we were able to convince them to join us. Together, we will strengthen some of our key business areas in specific sub-sectors and create an international consulting firm focused exclusively on financial services and financial technology,” said Malik Karim, Founder and CEO of Fenchurch. Gerard von Dohlen, Co-founder and Partner of Broadhaven, added that the merger creates new opportunities for clients and employees while establishing a platform for long-term growth. Supported by Natixis CIB, the combined firm aims to become a premier global advisor to the financial services industry.
