About the Firm
Mallard is a buy-side capital advisory and introducing broker firm. We sit between two groups: sponsors who have deals and need capital, and investors who have capital and need qualified deal flow. Our job is to find the right deals, qualify them, and connect them to the right capital, then facilitate the process through close.
We do not manage assets. We do not take principal risk. We do not hold capital. We connect, facilitate, and advise. We get paid when deals close.
The Buy Side
Most people are familiar with the sell side: investment banks, brokers, and agents whose job is to sell something (a company, a property, a fund) at the highest possible price. The buy side is different. A buy-side advisor represents the interests of the investor.
Our job is to understand what our investors want, source deals that fit their mandate, vet the opportunities before they ever hit a desk, and facilitate the introduction, negotiation, and close. We do not just pass along a pitch deck. We qualify, package, and present so our investors only see what is worth their time.
Two Sides of the Business
The Sponsor Side
Sponsors are the people who have deals and need capital. This includes private equity sponsors looking for LP commitments or co-investment capital, CRE operators and developers raising equity, fund managers seeking LP capital, growth-stage tech companies raising institutional rounds, and infrastructure and energy developers with large capital requirements.
Sponsors come to Mallard because they have strong deals and strong track records but lack direct access to international capital. We solve their distribution problem.
The Investor Side
Our investor network consists of sovereign wealth funds across the GCC, Nordics, Singapore, and East Asia; single and multi-family offices across the Gulf, Europe, and Asia; and institutional LPs including pension funds, endowments, and insurance capital with PE and CRE allocations.
These investors are actively deploying capital. They have mandates, check sizes, return targets, and sector preferences. What they lack is a trusted, fast, culturally fluent source of qualified mid-market deal flow. We solve their pipeline problem.
What Makes Mallard Different
Traditional investment banks work for the seller, focus on large-cap deals, charge expensive fees on slow timelines, rely on domestic networks, and take a generalist approach.
Mallard works for the investor. We are built for the $5M–$500M mid-market. We operate a lean structure with fast execution. We maintain direct relationships across the GCC, Europe, and Asia. And we are relationship-first, sector-specific.
The firm was established in 2025 and is headquartered in New York. Our partners maintain active, in-person relationships in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, London, Zurich, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
