Investec Group, the Anglo-South African international banking and wealth management conglomerate led by South African executive Fani Titi, has taken a majority stake in Swiss mergers and acquisitions adviser Capitalmind AG and rebranded the business as Investec Switzerland.
Swiss foothold
The move folds the Zurich-based firm into Investecs European advisory arm, expanding the firms footprint in a market where it has operated since 1978. Jonathan Arrowsmith, head of investment banking, said the move will boost collaboration across Investecs European network. This strengthens our presence in Switzerland and helps teams identify opportunities for Swiss clients while connecting Switzerland to global investors, he said.
