NEW YORK, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kudu Investment Management, LLC (Kudu), a leading provider of permanent capital solutions to asset and wealth management firms globally, and Drummond Capital Partners (Drummond), an Australian boutique manager specializing in institutional quality, active managed accounts, today announced that Kudu has made a minority investment in Drummond.
Drummond’s founders, Tom Schubert and Nick Reddaway, will remain majority owners and Drummond will continue to operate under the same leadership team, investment framework and client service model. Founded in 2017, Drummond, with offices in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth, manages A$6.6 billion in assets in tailored investment portfolios for financial advisors.
“We see a promising long-term opportunity in the Australian wealth management sector,” said Chris Shin, partner and co-CIO at Kudu. “Drummond is a high-quality business with a differentiated offering and coherent strategic direction. Our role is to provide long-term capital to support that vision—without altering what makes the firm successful.”
Tom Schubert, co-founder and CEO of Drummond, said, “This partnership is about strengthening what already makes Drummond different. We were very deliberate in seeking a partner whose capital is permanent, whose approach is genuinely long-term, and whose model allows us to remain fully independent. We have built a high-quality business by partnering closely with advice firms, and this investment enables us to continue investing in our team, our product suite and the broader support we provide to clients.”
