The specialized Financial Services advisory, Capital Market Partners, is now expanding its Nordic presence with a physical office in Oslo. Based on a broad palette of services, Capital Market Partners will assist the Norwegian financial sector. 

The Copenhagen-based consultancy, Capital Market Partners, is now taking the next step in its Nordic growth strategy, opening a physical office in Oslo on May 1st. The establishment is being made to meet an increasing demand for specialized advisory services in a Norwegian market where new regulatory requirements, consolidation, and technological change are creating Market pressure. 

“By moving physically into Oslo, we can offer local sparring based on a Nordic customer base, which is crucial where we advise on everything from strategic choices to deep “engine room” transformations”, says Kenneth Brandborg, Managing Partner at Capital Market Partners.

As a dedicated Financial Services consultancy, Capital Market Partners provides advisory services based on deep business understanding across the entire financial value chain. The service palette focuses particularly on the capital markets area, including markets front-, middle- and back-office matters, as well as the underlying regulation and technology used. In recent years, Capital Market Partners has experienced significant demand regarding the selection and implementation of capital markets technology, implementation of new regulations, post-trade services, and M&A services. However, front-office activities such as investment strategy reviews and pricing models are also in demand.

“With increasing regulatory requirements and rapid technological development, we see a clear need for advisory services that combine business understanding and operational execution. With the establishment in Oslo, we want to be a local partner that supports customers through the entire value chain – from strategy to implementation” emphasizes Camilla Børrestad, Managing Director at Capital Market Partners in Norway.

Capital Market Partners is already established with clients in Norway

Although the office is new, Capital Market Partners is already a well-known player among several clients in Norway. The consultancy already assists clients with banking, investment, and pension services, as well as technology platform providers.

This establishment has particularly taken place over the last three to four years, where assignments for Norwegian clients have included regulatory reporting, selection and implementation of capital market platforms, compliance in the commodities area, building investment departments, and data solution and migration.

Capital Market Partners has a long Nordic history

Capital Market Partners was established in 2010 by four consultants from Nordea’s capital markets area. From the beginning, Capital Market Partners has focused on the capital markets sector with a specific understanding of the combination of business, regulation, and technology.

One of the founders, Lars Christiansen, emphasizes that Capital Market Partners’ strength lies in its strong experience base, Capital Market Partners consultants exclusively have ten to twenty years of experience from various areas of the financial sector. Consequently, at the start of an assignment the consultants already have an in-depth understanding of the issues the client is facing. This is especially values by Capital Market Partners’ clients, which include Nordic banking groups, mid-sized regional banks, investment banks, pension funds, asset managers, and market infrastructure companies.
