Catella has appointed six new analysts at its offices in Stockholm and Gothenburg to meet increased demand for both transaction and capital-market advisory services.
'The underlying market for property transactions remains strong. Even if the economy weakens, real estate will be highly attractive in relation to other asset classes. An investment in property combines the opportunity for attractive returns with inflation protection,' commented Arvid Lindqvist, head of research at Catella.
'We are seeing many initiatives related to the capital markets, and interest from international investors remains high, both in Sweden and throughout the Nordic region. A number of institutions also wish to increase their exposure to property,' said Robert Fonovich, head of Catella’s Swedish Corporate Finance operations.
'To meet the increased demand for both transaction advisory and capital-market related advisory services, we are enhancing our Corporate Finance team with a number of new employees in commercial roles. Following these recruitments, our Swedish team numbers almost 40,' added Fonovich.
The appointments in Stockholm comprise Elin Ericson, a newly graduated real estate economist, Max Doherty, joining from Swedbank, and Dan Taranets from Capman. Gustaf Knall has been recruited internally to the Corporate Finance team, while Sophia Ångström will join from Credit Agricole later in November.
Marcus Lotzman, a newly graduated economist, joins the team in Gothenburg.
