We have had many insightful interactions with Kirstein A/S over the years. When we recently made a commitment to expand our institutional business and focus on the Nordic and Benelux region, we also knew we would benefit from partnering with the team at Kirstein to support our efforts. We appreciate that it is a sophisticated and complex market where we needed to take a thoughtful and patient approach given our long-term commitment to working with Nordic and Benelux investors and also in identifying those investors that align most with our capabilities. Kirstein has been instrumental in this process, and their qualitative knowledge and consultative approach is invaluable to us.

At our request and outside any particular search activity, Kirstein has conducted in-depth analyses of several strategies offered by us to institutional clients. The feedback and insight we received, both quantitatively and qualitatively, has been extremely valuable to us, allowing us to adjust our key messages and the level of transparency in explaining the investment process, thus making us more efficient in presenting the products.

Kirstein has been an important partner in our ambitions to expand our profile in the Nordic region. The consultancy agreement with Kirstein helps us focus our efforts and gather as much detailed information as possible regarding institutional investors and important competitors in the region.
