CapMan rebrands as Scala

CapMan, a Helsinki-based alternative asset manager, has renamed its fund advisory business Scala Fund Advisory, as reported by sister publication Secondaries Investor.

The advisory unit, previously known as CapMan Fund Advisory, has raised more than €3 billion across various strategies and offers private equity portfolio and secondaries fund market analysis to institutional investors.

“The competition for capital between private equity funds has tightened and there is significant demand for Scala’s professional know-how as a result,” Jerome Bouix, managing partner at Scala, said in a statement.

“Due to our broad experience and international networks, we believe that we can offer unique solutions to the challenges facing private equity fund managers and investors today,” he said.

The Scala team comprises seven professionals across offices in Helsinki, Stockholm and London, according to its website. The unit’s services include fundraising, investor relations, secondaries services and portfolio services.

Publicly-listed CapMan has offices in six European locations, and the Scala team has local co-operation partners in the US and Asia, according to the statement
