Opalesque Industry Update - GEMCORP, the financial firm focused on
investments in emerging markets, is pleased to announce its
official launch. Atanas Bostandjiev, formerly a Partner at Goldman
Sachs, and more recently UK and International CEO of VTB Capital, has
been joined by group of experienced emerging markets investment
professionals at GEMCORP. The firm has so far raised $500 million from
European institutional investors with a lock-up period of five years. The GEMCORP team brings unique investment expertise in Emerging Markets, ranging from origination and execution of transactions to capital deployment and risk management. Bostandjiev, Managing Partner at GEMCORP, said, "We want to position ourselves as the access point for institutional investors when it comes to investing in emerging market sovereign and private sectors. We see a significant gap where traditional financial institutions are unable to meet the growing demand from emerging markets clients for flexible and reliable debt or equity financing solutions. Selim Basak, Managing Partner at GEMCORP, commented, "GEMCORP brings together a group of people with a diverse and complementary range of skills and expertise, but a shared philosophy. Many of us have worked together in previous roles over the last eight years and we have put together this dynamic team with a strong track record and hands-on approach across origination, execution and risk management in emerging markets." GEMCORP, which is headquartered in London, will primarily focus on the financial services, natural resources, infrastructure and sovereign sectors. The firm will utilise a flexible and scalable approach when it comes to underwriting transactions using its own Funds and partnering with institutional investors to provide equity, debt or hybrid capital solutions. GEMCORP currently employs 17 people. PD |
