Our Identity
Tonu Partners was founded with a heartfelt commitment to family and legacy.
Inspired by the desire to ensure his family estate was cared for with the same dedication he brought to managing institutional capital, Lyall Davenport established the firm to provide a level of respect and professionalism that honors the past while building for the future. Tonu Partners isn’t just about preserving and growing wealth—it’s about cherishing the legacy of those who came before, particularly Lyall’s grandfather, whose vision and values continue to guide the firm’s mission today.
At Tonu Partners, we believe that every relationship should feel like family. When you work with us, you’re not just another client—you’re a valued partner in a journey we share together. We take the time to truly understand your story, your aspirations, and your challenges. By being selective in our partnerships, we ensure that each client receives the extraordinary level of care and attention they deserve. When you join Tonu Partners, you’re joining a team that is as invested in your success as you are.
What makes Tonu Partners unique is our personal touch and hands-on approach. Lyall chose to leave behind a successful career managing institutional funds because he believed his family deserved more—and now, he brings that same dedication to each client. We don’t just offer advice; we roll up our sleeves and work alongside you, bringing real-world experience and genuine passion to every project. At Tonu Partners, we’re here to ensure that your goals are not just met but exceeded, with every decision and strategy reflecting the care and commitment that comes from treating your success as our own.
