The Michael Kenwood Group

The Michael Kenwood Group is a diversified financial business that began as a financial and policy consulting firm in June 2006. The Group’s principals have on average over 20 years’ experience working in major consulting firms, in policy development or in international capital markets, serving the asset management and investment banking needs of corporations, financial institutions and governments.

Our principals have gained their experience working at leading financial institutions, such as Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank, Chase/Chemical (now JP Morgan), Citibank, Global Infrastructure Partners, Macquarie, ING Barings, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. Our greatest assets are our principals’ depth of investment banking, asset management, consulting and political experience, and their thorough understanding of capital markets as well as their personal familiarity with the main participants in these markets. Complementing our principals is a highly qualified and experienced staff.

We serve our clients’ needs in the following areas:

  • Investment Banking
  • Asset Management
  • Private Equity and Venture Capital Investments
  • Consulting
  • Energy and Infrastructure

What differentiates us from our competition is our expertise, diversity, flexibility and our ability to meet our clients’ needs, capitalizing on the current reticence among larger institutions to provide key services.

The success of our strategy is evident in the growth of our firm. We started off with the consulting service and a single hedge fund in late 2007 and now manage three hedge funds. We have a growing private equity business and an investment banking practice with an expanding presence across the globe. And we’ve established the Michael Kenwood Foundation, to fulfill the commitment to social philanthropy that lies at the core of our Group’s philosophy.
