QUAERO CAPITAL has moved to new offices in London’s West End following its recent merger with Asian fund management specialist Tiburon Partners.
The firm’s decision is based on the expansion of QUAERO following the deal with Tiburon whose staff have moved to the new office in King Street. They have been joined by the existing London based QUAERO staff who, until recently, like the Tiburon staff, had offices close to the new location. The enlarged entity is already trading under the QUAERO CAPITAL brand.
The new office underpins QUAERO’s commitment to the UK with a newly created single business which is managing some EUR2.1billion. In line with their shared boutique philosophy the combined business will remain 100% employee owned and continues to focus on highly concentrated, actively managed, value strategies.
QUAERO CAPITAL CEO Jean Keller said, “We are delighted to be working with our new colleagues in great offices, in an excellent location. We have joined forces with other excellent value specialists whose skills and expertise – in Japanese and Asian equities – 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.”
