Mallard Capital Launch Announcement
January 15, 2026
We are pleased to announce the formation of Mallard Capital, a buy-side advisory and introducing broker firm focused on connecting qualified deal flow with sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and institutional investors across the GCC, Europe, and Asia.
The firm was founded by Henri Francois, Abdullah Al-Otaibi, and Behrnt Schultz. We are headquartered in New York and maintain active relationships in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, London, Zurich, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Our practice is built on a simple idea: the best capital allocation decisions come from the best relationships. We work on behalf of investors to source, qualify, and deliver opportunities across private equity, commercial real estate, infrastructure, tech, and venture. We work with sponsors who have strong deals but lack direct access to international capital.
We are not a bank, a placement agent, or a deal blast list. We are a relationship-first firm. We qualify every opportunity before it reaches an investor desk, and we stay in the deal through close.
If you are a sponsor with a strong deal seeking international capital, or an investor looking for a trusted source of qualified mid-market deal flow, we would welcome a conversation.
