Meet Our Team
We’re a team built to compete — relentless in our work, precise in our execution, and committed to winning for our clients. Every decision, every detail, is driven by the same mindset: protect the edge and play to win.
Founder
David Cornwell
Founder & Managing Partner
David started Delta ONE Wealth in 2019 as a hedge fund for a private family office — a platform that over time evolved into the family office’s dedicated investment arm. Managing proprietary capital through real market cycles shaped his philosophy: structure comes first. By eliminating tax drag, blocking downside risk, and compounding efficiently, David built a repeatable framework for protecting and growing wealth.
That framework now powers the CERTAIN Fund, Delta ONE’s flagship solution for entrepreneurs, executives, and high achievers seeking the same advantages once reserved for multi-generational wealth.
David still credits his foundation as a quarterback at the University of Alabama under Nick Saban, where he learned that success is built through discipline, preparation, and “the process.” Today, those same principles guide how he builds investment structures designed not just to compete — but to win.
Strategic Partners
Delta ONE runs lean by design — but behind us is the backbone of our family office: a network of specialists that expands our reach and sharpens our execution. We don’t name names, but these are the partners whose expertise is built into every solution:
Ensure compliance and alignment with evolving tax law, structuring the fund to remain fully tax-free from day one.
Optimize efficiency and cost, tailoring each build for client-specific funding scenarios while maintaining institutional rigor.
Provide research and tactical insights that drive allocation decisions, powering the return engine inside each CERTAIN Fund.
Deliver the scale and strength — from housing the fund and creating the structured products, to providing capital and long-term stability.
Our Edge
We built Delta ONE Wealth to operate with the precision of a hedge fund, the discipline of a family office, and the flexibility of a boutique firm.
-
Hedge Fund DNA – Proven strategies designed to thrive in real market cycles — not just back-tests or theory.
-
Family-Office Discipline – A structure engineered for our own capital first, refined through years of oversight and optimization.
-
Institutional Access – A private network of product partners, advisors, and research channels normally reserved for multi-generational wealth.
-
Selective by Design – We work with a small number of clients who value results over convention — so every solution is built with complete focus.
When you work with us, you’re not hiring a wealth manager. You’re aligning with a team whose only job is to protect, compound, and optimize capital for those who demand control and results.
