UK-based fintech Knadel Software Solutions has launched a standalone advisory service for investment managers.
The firm has been supporting software clients for numerous years with advice on selecting and managing suppliers and has now made this available as a standalone offering.
As a result of the development, the firm will also be rebranding to Knadel Solutions.

The new service will include supplier selection and due diligence; governance operating model design; KPI benchmarking; and oversight framework review and development.
It will be led by Robert Hupe who joins from investment consultant Alpha FMC where he was a member of the UK wealth management leadership team.
“The relationship with suppliers is a hugely important and underserved component of the operating model, and critical in enabling firms to achieve their strategic objectives,” said Hupe.
“[Hupe’s] appointment represents a significant milestone for Knadel Solutions as we continue to expand our offerings and elevate our capabilities,” said Knadel managing director, Dean Lumer.
