It is with a profound sense of sadness that the partners and staff of London & Capital announce the sudden death of Daniel Freedman, co-founder and Managing Director.
Daniel was the archetypal entrepreneur whose energy and passion for his clients and his business was unparalleled. His pioneering spirit and drive saw London & Capital at the forefront, in some cases by years, of many developments in the wealth management industry - from alternative investments, to advice-led investment management and the development of exchange traded funds.
Over the course of 30 years Daniel succeeded in building a firm which retained a rare balance of professionalism and family values for staff and clients alike.
Anyone who met Daniel will have been struck by the sheer force of his personality, through which he was able to accomplish the most daunting of undertakings whilst also instilling the deepest affection and loyalty amongst everyone who worked with him.
He has been recognised for his achievements on numerous occasions by the industry, but his vision and foresight for our company, and the development of its people, is perhaps one of his greatest. It is a real tribute to Daniel and his inspirational leadership that whilst making such an immense contribution himself, he also built and empowered a highly capable senior management team which will continue to take the business forward.
The thoughts of everyone at London & Capital are with his wife, Elaine, and two daughters, Laura and Samantha, at this very sad time.
