Fenchurch Advisory Partners announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to combine with Broadhaven Capital Partners, creating an international investment bank focused on the financial services sector.
The combined firm will have more than 110 investment bankers dedicated to financial services, including 30 Senior Managing Directors and Managing Directors across offices in London, New York, Chicago, and Paris.
Fenchurch is an investment banking advisory firm focused exclusively on financial services. With offices in London, New York, and Paris, the firm advises corporates and financial sponsors across insurance, asset and wealth management, banking, and specialty finance. In 2025, Fenchurch advised on 27 transactions and ranked as the top adviser to the financial services sector in the UK and Europe.
Founded in 2009, Broadhaven advises financial technology and financial services companies in North America on M&A, capital raising, and strategic transactions. The firm has a team of 40 professionals in New York and Chicago and has advised on more than 125 completed transactions with a combined value exceeding $100 billion.
Broadhaven brings complementary North American capabilities to Fenchurch, especially in financial technology, asset and wealth management, market infrastructure, and private capital raising. The combination is expected to accelerate Fenchurch’s expansion in the United States and strengthen its ability to advise clients across transatlantic financial services transactions.
Broadhaven’s senior leadership team will join as partners of the combined firm. Gerard von Dohlen, Broadhaven’s co-founder, will also join the board of directors.
The transaction is supported by Fenchurch’s strategic partner Natixis CIB and is intended to build a scaled international advisory platform dedicated to financial services and financial technology.
KEY QUOTES:
“We have admired Broadhaven for many years, sharing similar values centred around client focus, and we are delighted to have persuaded them to join us.”
“Together, we will strengthen several of our most important sub sector franchises and create an international advisory firm dedicated exclusively to financial services and financial technology. Building up our presence in the United States has been a strategic priority for Fenchurch. Broadhaven is a rare fit, geographically, culturally and in terms of sub sector coverage, materially enhancing our ability to support clients in Europe and the US.”

Our combined firm will be the premier international advisor to the financial services sector and a platform poised for continued long-term expansion.”
