Catella to establish new operation in fixed-income market

Catella is strengthening and expanding its business in Sweden by establishing an operation in the fixed-income market.

The new unit will act as a financial consultant and issue fixed-income products such as corporate bonds. The unit will act as an advisory in the investor market and it will also provide brokerage services in the treasury, housing and credit bond markets.

Recruitment is currently under way for about ten employees for the new unit, which will be jointly owned with senior executives and included as a subsidiary in the Catella Group through the wholly owned subsidiary Banque Invik, Luxembourg.

The corporate bond market is expected to grow sharply in the years ahead. Due to the restrictions that measures such as the new regulatory framework are anticipated to entail for bank lending, combined with the refinancing needs that will arise in coming years, interest in the issuance of corporate bonds is expected to grow. Increased investor interest in the sector is also anticipated.
