Aktia Fund Management Company Ltd has bought the business operations of Askel Partners Oy, a provider of fund services.

With the purchase, Aktia extends its selection of alternative investment products according to its strategy and establishes a Finnish infrastructure fund. 

Askel Partners develops Finnish infrastructure funds, and the purchase gives Aktia the preconditions to establish a new infrastructure fund. The purpose of the fund that will be established during the end of the year is to focus on the public and private energy, transport and communication infrastructure, and social infrastructure.

Going forward, Aktia’s institutional customers have thus an opportunity to participate in financing and developing functions that are vital for society.
