About Cape Otway Capital
Cape Otway Capital is a strategic advisor and permanent-capital partner to founder-led UHNW wealth firms

At Cape Otway we have decades of experience scaling investment and wealth management firms. We believe that for firms to reach their next level, a combination of capital, operating experience, and expanded capabilities is needed.
For founders considering legacy and succession, Cape Otway offers an enduring home for what they built, delivering trusted advice and hands-on partnership – protecting culture, clients and people, and preparing the next generation to lead, on the founder’s timeline.

Meet our founder
Matthew J. Edmonds
Matt Edmonds is an operator, investor, and business builder who has spent three decades helping investment and wealth management firms reach their next level.
His experience spans institutional investing, operating leadership, M&A, technology and AI, giving Cape Otway an unusually broad perspective on what it takes to build enduring firms.
Most recently, Matt was President of Jordan Park Group, a multi-family office and wealth management platform that grew from approximately $12 billion to $24 billion during his tenure.
Previously, he served as President and COO of Atticus Capital, where he partnered with founder Timothy Barakett as the firm grew from $1 billion to more than $22 billion in AUM – and subsequently as CEO of TRB Advisors, the Barakett family office and private investment firm. He also served as President of Hutchin Hill Capital, helping scale the firm from $800 million to more than $5 billion.
Earlier, Matt spent nearly a decade at Morgan Stanley in M&A and investment banking advising founders and boards, and later served as Partner and Chief Innovation Officer of PJT Partners Inc., the independent investment bank.
Matt has sat on both sides of the table: he has built teams, managed investment platforms, partnered with and advised founders through ownership, growth and leadership transitions, and helped create substantial long-term equity value.
That experience shapes Cape Otway’s approach: the transaction is only the beginning. The real work is protecting what made a firm successful while building what comes next.
Matt lives with his family in New York City.
