2012
Founded in London
Early engagements with tier-one investment banks, UK pension funds, quantitative hedge funds and trading venues — delivering complex trading infrastructure and regulatory transformation.
We exist to close the gap between advice and delivery.
Capmark was founded in London in 2012 by people who had seen the same failure repeatedly: strategy that was sound on paper, and change that stalled in the build. We built a firm where the people who shape the answer stay accountable for delivering it. Today we work across London, Sydney and Melbourne, in financial services and energy markets.
Where we come from
We built the firm around the work institutions actually need delivered.
Capmark was formed from years of leading complex programmes inside investment banks, buy-side institutions and wealth firms. The pattern repeated: clients had no shortage of advice, but the advisers who shaped the strategy were rarely the ones who had to make it work on the desk, in the platform, and in front of the regulator. The two were separated — and the change paid the price.
Capmark was built to bridge this divide.
From the earliest City of London engagements, the work was practical: front-office transformation, trade capture, risk and finance operating models, MiFID and Dodd-Frank programmes, platform rationalisation and remediation. The reputation was built on delivery, not presentation.
“We did not set out to build another consulting firm. We set out to build the firm we wished we could have hired — one that understands the market, can challenge the design, and stays until the change works in production.”

The journey
A decade of work across markets, platforms and operating models.
The milestones track the same pattern: specialist delivery in capital markets, then expansion into Australian banking, superannuation, private markets and energy.

2024
Sector Diversification

Global from the start
Built for clients whose platforms, rules and operating models cross borders.
In 2019, Capmark expanded to Australia as financial institutions across APAC faced the same pressures seen in London and New York: electronic trading change, surveillance and conduct obligations, treasury and investment-platform modernisation, and the need to internalise capability without losing control.
