Vistra has expanded its services into the Canadian market with the opening of an office in Toronto.
The opening of the office in Toronto represents a further extension of Vistra’s footprint in North America.
The timing of the expansion coincides with Vistra’s alternative investments division award fund, which came from a fund administration mandate from a private equity firm in Toronto.
Commenting on the opening of Vistra's Toronto office, Onno Bouwmeister, group managing director, alternative investments at Vistra, said: "This new office will complement our existing offices in North America and further strengthen the experience and expertise we can provide to our clients in this critical region.”
“Initially our focus in Canada will be around our Alternative Investments business, however we plan to build upon our existing local relationships to expand our service capabilities to offer Vistra's full suite of services across all business lines."
Martin Crawford, CEO at Vistra, added: "Canada is home to some of the most sophisticated institutional investors, largest multinationals and innovative high growth companies, as well as being a target for inbound investment from across the globe and a market that has been on our radar for some time.”
Crawford added: “This new local presence will strengthen our ability to provide our high calibre expertise to these clients and better support global clients interested in Canada. I am excited to watch Vistra establish itself as a major presence in Canada."
