PrimePartners Group, one of Singapore’s leading investment banking advisory firms has entered into a strategic alliance with Strand Hanson, a London-based corporate advisory firm to explore areas of new listings and capital market transactions.
Strand Hanson has an extensive geographical footprint, particularly in emerging markets such as Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East. Similarly, PrimePartners also services a global client base, with an emphasis on the Southeast Asia region and Greater China.
Both parties are set to leverage one another’s business connections to strengthen their respective cross-regional presence. This partnership will create a combined pool of diverse clients, which is expected to leverage a host of new opportunities, particularly in the area of energy transition where a key to success is effectively linking the producers of critical raw materials which feature strongly in Strand Hanson’s client base with end users.
On top of the enhanced connectivity, the collaboration also enables knowledge transfer, especially regarding regulations, legislation, and culture between the two firms, which will improve service efficiency levels in mutual regions.
Mark Liew, Chief Executive Officer of PrimePartners said, “Our respective strengths and focus in different geographical regions will open doors to a wider universe of potential clients to both of us, especially pertaining to capital market deals with cross-border elements. The extensive reach that Strand Hanson has is an attractive proposition and we look forward to growing together with our new partner.”
Simon Raggett, Chief Executive of Strand Hanson said, “Singapore offers a strong combination of regulatory oversight, access to world-class talent and a vibrant capital market from which to access some of the world’s fastest-growing economies. We are delighted to have formed a partnership with PrimePartners, which shares our values and commitment to servicing our clients.
“Strand Hanson has been advising clients with a global reach via its established network of offices and partnerships and is excited at strengthening its regional presence via this new relationship.”
