Monument Group Establishes European Headquarters in the Netherlands
US-based capital advisory company will innovate in the Dutch fintech ecosystem
Monument Group, a global capital advisory and fundraising partner in alternative investments, is establishing its European headquarters in the Netherlands to support its growing business in the region. The US-based company is joining the Dutch fintech ecosystem to expand and innovate in the sector.
With its new office in Amsterdam, Monument Group aims to strengthen relationships with investors in Europe and further develop its capital advisory and secondary business. In particular, Monument Group can help pension funds to allocate capital to alternative – green or innovative – funds, thereby contributing to sustainability objectives of investors.
Monument Group Netherlands, which is fully licensed in the Netherlands and passported throughout the European Union, will work closely with the members of the firm’s long-standing London office.
Contributing to sustainable finance
The firm’s decision to locate in the Netherlands is driven by the growing demand for private equity investments in Europe, said Janet Brooks, Partner at Monument Group.
‘As a growing financial center in post-Brexit Europe, Amsterdam is a logical fit for Monument Group and having a presence in this dynamic city will nicely complement our established offices in London, Boston, Hong Kong and Tokyo,’ Brooks said.
Amsterdam is home to a fast-growing, innovative and international ecosystem of fintch and financial services companies. Reasons why international fintech companies choose the Netherlands include: accessible regulatory authorities, a strong tech-savvy and English-speaking talent pool, and superb digital and logistics connectivity.
Monument Group is in good company in the Netherlands. It joins homegrown successes like Adyen and Mollie and other foreign companies like the Australian Airwallex and British Modulr.
