Lion Global Investors appoints Australia marketing agent
Lion Global Investors has appointed Sydney-based Strathnaver Capital as its marketing agent for its Asian private equity strategy.
Richard Borysiewicz, Strathnaver managing director, would work closely with key investment and distribution executives in Singapore to raise funds in Australia for the Lion-OCBC Capital Asia Fund II.
Borysiewicz, who launched the firm earlier this year, had over 30 years’ experience in Australia and the Asia Pacific region in banking, corporate advisory and investment management.
Lion launched their first private equity fund, the Lion-OCBC Capital Asia Fund I, in November 2014.
The fund targeted deals in high-growth small and medium enterprises in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and China.
The fund started with US$300 million ($427 million) funds under management before increasing 30% in nine months due to demand from institutional investors.
Gerard Lee, Lion chief executive, said: “Australia is one of the largest and most sophisticated pension markets in the world and we are very pleased to be working with Richard to bring our Asian Private Equity expertise to Australian Institutional investors”.
