Aequitas Capital Tops 100 Employees
Corporate Headquarters Expanded to Accommodate Growth
(firmenpresse) - PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 11/12/12 -- Credit-focused investment management firm Aequitas Capital has reached the milestone of 100 employees for the first time in its nearly 20-year history, reflecting continuing growth in its private investment business.
The company has expanded its staff by 30 percent in both 2011 and 2012 to support its growing business of building and distributing income-producing alternative investment solutions to institutional and high net worth clients. To accommodate staff and business growth, the company is taking another 5,000 square feet at its headquarters at 5300 Meadows Road on Kruse Way in Lake Oswego, where it now occupies the entire fourth floor.
"We are building a world-class organization to support the significant opportunities we see for income-producing alternative investments in today's marketplace," said Bob Jesenik, CEO of Aequitas Capital.
Jesenik said unprecedented low interest rates, extreme caution by large banks, and lackluster performance from traditional stocks and bonds are driving interest in alternative investments -- Aequitas Capital's core business. A recent poll of investors, published by Aequitas, supports this view, as more than 78 percent of poll respondents expect to increase their allocation to alternative investments over the next three years.
