LONDON AND HONG KONG, Dec 3, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) - Global Alliance Partners (GAP) celebrated its third year during its 7th semi-annual GAP conference held in London, United Kingdom earlier this month. GAP has grown from five to eleven member firms in just three years, strengthening the alliance with over 20,000 staff in 25 countries.
"GAP's cross-border execution capabilities cover private equity, pre-IPO placements, share trading, research, funds management and equity placement opportunities; and now spans strategic markets not only in Asia, North America, and the Middle East, but also in India, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa", Robert W. McMillen, GAP's Chairman said.
Mr. McMillen reported that there are currently five new membership applications under consideration and expressed his optimism for the future of the group.
"Equally important and necessary is to firm up our internal mechanisms. We want to be able to support and facilitate the growing transaction flow amongst partners. We have therefore formed specialist subcommittees in Broking, Investment Banking, Funds and Wealth Management, and Mining and Resources", he explained.
GAP's accumulative funds under management or advised exceed USD 40 billion and its members have completed over USD 22 billion of cross border M&A transactions and capital raisings in many of the developing markets as well as the more traditional markets.
The conference was jointly hosted by GAP's two London-based partners, Killik & Co and Seymour Pierce. Speakers included: Mr. Marcus Stuttard (Head of AIM), "Overview of the AIM Market"; Mr. Paul Kavanagh (Partner and Chairman of Killik Capital),Introduction to the UK and Europe Markets"; Mr. Anthony Lopes Pinto (Managing Director of Imara Securities), "Angola - The Rising Phoenix"; Mr. RM Sriram (Head of International Business for Reliance Capital), "The India Story"; and Mr.Sean Maher, (Quam's Independent Consultant Strategist), "Global Economic Trends and Investment Outlook".
