Oceanside Capital Partners to represent Aktia´s EMD strategies in the Netherlands

Oceanside Capital Partners, which provides distribution services to asset managers, will start to represent Aktia´s strategies in the Netherlands. The partnership strengthens Aktia's international presence and enables the distribution of debt products in emerging markets to Dutch investors.   

The partnership is an important milestone for Aktia in terms of achieving its strategic goals. One of which is to increase internationally managed assets. Aktia's current international offering consist of three strategies: EM Frontier Bonds, EM Local Currency Bonds and Sustainable Corporate Bonds.    

 “We are pleased to work with Oceanside to make Aktia’s award-winning EM Debt strategies available to Dutch investors. Our international offering is a key part of our strategic ambitions, and this is an important step toward growing our international assets under management (AUM)”, says Petri Aho, Head of International Sales at Aktia. 

According to Aho, the Dutch market is relevant for Aktia for many reasons.   

“There is a strong presence of institutional investors in the country, and pension funds in particular already have experience investing in emerging markets. This allows us to expand our expertise in serving customers within this investor segment to a new and strategically significant market”, Aho notes. 

To succeed in the new market, Aktia needs a partner with experience and expertise, particularly in the institutional market. Oceanside’s experienced partners will support the creation of important networks, as it is precisely these networks that will enable the development of long-term customer service in the Netherlands.  

Oceanside, in turn, gains a committed partner in Aktia, with whom it can offer unique and high-quality investment solutions to investors in the Benelux region. 

“We are delighted to partner with Aktia, whose long-standing expertise and proven track record in local currency emerging and frontier market debt perfectly complements our focus on high-quality, differentiated investment solutions for professional investors in the Benelux region”, says André Van Den Heuvel, Partner at Oceanside Capital Partners.
