Opalesque Industry Update - QUAERO Capital and London based Asian fund management specialist Tiburon Partners today announce that, subject to FCA and FINMA approval, they will join forces. The tie-up, under the QUAERO Capital brand, will form a single business managing more than $2.3 billion. In line with the shared boutique philosophy the combined business will remain 100% employee owned and continue to focus on highly concentrated, actively managed, value strategies.

QUAERO Capital CEO Jean Keller said, "We are delighted to be joining forces with another excellent value specialist as our skills and expertise are wholly complementary. We are also excited to have a substantial presence in London - one of the key centres for investment talent in the world."

Tiburon Partners' senior partner Rupert Kimber said, "QUAERO Capital's managers think and work like us. They have a similar investment approach based on value orientated, concentrated portfolios. So, naturally, we are keen to partner with a firm which shares our philosophy, and can take our offering more widely around Europe."

Tiburon Partners was established in 2003 as a value manager specialising in Asian and Japanese equities. The firm, which is wholly owned by its senior employees, manages some $900m and is authorised and regulated by the FCA.
