CapMan establishes a new investment area, CapMan Infra
CapMan has established a new investment area, CapMan Infra, which focuses on
Nordic mid-cap infrastructure assets. The new investment area will connect
investors and Nordic infrastructure asset owners while creating value through
local origination of investment opportunities and active ownership and asset
management. The establishment of CapMan Infra is part of CapMan's growth
strategy, which includes launching new value adding investment solutions.
Ville Poukka, M. Sc. (Econ.) has been appointed to head CapMan Infra. Poukka
joins CapMan from Danske Bank Corporate Finance, where he has been Managing
Director and responsible for Nordic Energy and Infrastructure operations. Poukka
has advised clients in several infrastructure transactions in Finland and
Sweden. Poukka will officially start at CapMan during the second quarter of
2017.
"We implement this investment strategy gradually based on investor preferences
and asset characteristics. Managed account mandates or investments in single
assets through club deal structures are a likely approach in the beginning but
we are also considering the establishment of an infrastructure fund. For the
time being, we are focused on origination and making the first investments,"
says Ville Poukka, Partner of CapMan Infra.
CapMan Infra's investment focus is primarily core infrastructure assets in
sectors such as energy, transportation and telecommunication. Key geographical
markets are in Finland and Sweden, but assets in other Nordic countries can be
considered as well. In addition to Poukka, CapMan Infra will include a small
local team of experienced infrastructure investment professionals. The team with
extensive networks in Europe will combine infrastructure deal-making and asset
management experience.
"Many investors look to allocate more capital into real assets in the current
investment environment. There is high investor appetite for Nordic mid-cap
infrastructure assets, but relatively few asset managers that are actively
covering this space. CapMan's strengths are local know-how, an established
market position and extensive investor networks. We have charted the market for
a while and when the key person was found, everything came together. Now is a
good time to implement our growth strategy based on active ownership also in
this new investment area," says Joakim Frimodig, Director, Strategic Growth
Initiatives at CapMan.
