Scotia Capital, a subsidiary of Scotiabank, creates new business unit, the Global Infrastructure Finance group. It will combine Scotia Capital’s existing Infrastructure Advisory, Capital Markets and Lending groups into a single business unit providing full-service coverage for Canada, the United States and Latin America.
Scotia Capital’s new Global Infrastructure Finance group will enable the firm to:
– Provide both clients and Scotia Capital with valuable insights to the global infrastructure market;
– Serve clients more effectively with a seamless infrastructure platform and a unified approach to offering comprehensive financial applications; and
– Enhance the client-centric approach for global clients that operate in multiple jurisdictions, requiring multiple services.
Matt Giffen and Brian Maloney will spearhead the Global Infrastructure Finance group. Matt Giffen will continue to oversee the infrastructure advisory and capital markets team. Brian Maloney will be primarily responsible for the infrastructure lending team.
“Combining Infrastructure Advisory, Capital Markets and Infrastructure Finance into a cohesive team will enable us to achieve greater operational effectiveness with a more competitive platform,” says Matt Giffen, managing director and co-head, Global Infrastructure Finance, Scotia Capital. “It also allows us to provide a seamless infrastructure platform to our clients.”
“The infrastructure advisory, capital markets and finance teams have always strived to improve the level of service we provide to our global clients,” says Brian Maloney, managing director and co-head, Global Infrastructure Finance, Scotia Capital. “We believe this new integrated approach to providing expertise and financing will continue to enhance our service levels.”
