Fiera Capital’s recent office opening is the company’s newest move toward global expansion as it keeps implementing its swift centralised distribution model, which includes a deliberate growth throughout the EMEA region.
The Hague office, the company’s fifth site in EMEA, will bolster Fiera Capital’s recognised capacity to cater to institutional and intermediate clients at every level of this market.
With a sole presence on the ground, it will function as the main hub for Fiera Capital’s investors and clients in the Nordics (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland) and Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg).
Schuster stated: “Our Dutch office opening is the next step in the growth of our rapid expansion in the EMEA region, with successful launches in Switzerland and Abu Dhabi in February this year. I believe Fiera is well-placed to tap into latent demand among institutional investors to diversify their asset allocations and, by extension, their public and private markets exposures. I am pleased to welcome Jeroen to our firm and look forward to working closely together to build Fiera Capital’s presence in the Benelux and Nordic markets.”
