'Eurohypo remains open for business. While there is certainly less activity than last year, professional investors are still actively making strategic acquisitions and financing existing portfolios to achieve their business objectives. We continue to back management teams with strong track records and clear plans for their investments, both existing clients and companies new to us,' said Michael Acratopulo, managing director, UK Origination at Eurohypo.
