Who to call

the organisation, the role and the published line, with the filing or website that published it; revealed to signed-in accounts

The firm's published line

Revealable: 1 work email (firm website) · as of 2026-09-17

Also named here, with no published line of their own (reach them through the firm): Dean Emmerton (Managing Partner), Dean Emmerton (Emko Capital, founder ('17-present)), Josh Kowitt (Emko Capital, founder ('17-present)), Jackson Dunlap (Emko Capital, partner ('19-present)).

Who to call is the organisation, the person's role and the line they published themselves: a business phone, office address, website or profile link from Form ADV, Form 13F or their own website, with that source named on every value. The counts above are what a reveal returns; a personal email is rarely published, so most reveals are the firm's line. Never data bought from a provider, never anything personal. Reveals by plan
