The Waystone Global Distribution Group has been built on over a decade’s experience successfully navigating the complexities and hurdles of global distribution. This has informed a range of services offered to global asset managers across Investment Solutions, Capital Introductions, Distribution Support and Distribution Services, each designed to help them meet their distribution goals. Our ethos is to provide the highest quality services to meet the distribution needs of asset managers and ensure asset raising success within the investment community.

Kenneth has extensive experience and a successful track record working both in distribution and operations and has a deep understanding of the complex operational and regulatory distribution challenges that the European asset-raising environment presents.
