Aalto Capital: Best M&A Solutions Partner Europe 2020

Aalto Capital is an independent investment banking advisory firm with regional expertise and global reach through a network of offices in London, Munich, Helsinki, Stockholm, Zurich and New York. A collaborative partner network extends coverage to the whole of Europe, Russia, Asia, the Middle East and the US. Aalto Capital has recruited seasoned professionals with vast experience on the buying and selling sides of private equity. The firm focuses on raising growth capital for established companies rather than start-ups. Aalto Capital is a trusted advisor on corporate finance, capital markets and M&As. One of the firm’s first M&A deals paired a US business with a UK firm to form one of the world’s largest eSports companies, which registers 350 million views per month. It has been active in real estate — including the sale of a magazine’s headquarters in London’s Covent Garden — and plans to develop this line of the business. The customer-focused firm is currently targeting business services and has completed a number of transactions in the fintech sector. It also finds the tech opportunities in the Nordic markets of increasing interest. Clients appreciate the firm’s cross-border expertise, solutions-oriented approach and can-do attitude. Aalto Capital reports that none of its 40-person workforce was put on furlough during the pandemic — and the firm is now hiring. The CFI.co judging panel recognises a strong growth trajectory, and declares Aalto Capital winner of the 2020 award for Best M&A Solutions Partner (Europe).
