"The development of Scala has been good during the recent years. We have completed several mandates and the demand for Scala's fund raising and advisory services has remained strong both in North America and in Europe. With the incorporation of Scala we are able to accelerate the growth of the business and it also helps us to clarify our position in the markets. I would also like to congratulate my previous team member for this excellent appointment," says Jerome Bouix, Managing Partner at Scala Fund Advisory.
"With the new arrangement announced today we want to improve our customer service, support our investment teams in their investor relations and fundraising processes and clarify the responsibilities between CapMan's own fundraising and Scala.
