European Capital strengthens Frankfurt team to boost pan-European mezzanine activityEuropean Capital Financial Services, the sub-investment manager of European Capital, has appointed Bernd Schaessburger as an investment director, to join the firm's new Frankfurt office.
The Frankfurt team, which now numbers four professionals, was established in April 2007 and is headed by managing director Robert von Finckenstein. The team works closely with the European mezzanine team headed by Nathalie Faure Beaulieu in London.
Faure Beaulieu, managing director and head of pan-European mezzanine at European Capital, said, 'We believe that a strong local team will enable European Capital to expand its pan-European mezzanine activities significantly.'
Prior to joining European Capital, Schaessburger gained experience in the mezzanine finance industry at DAM Capital in London and at Dresdner Kleinwort in Frankfurt. Previously, Schaessburger spent five years as an investment manager at a German private equity firm, where he was involved in transactions across a variety of industries and also exit management.
European Capital is a closed-end investment company for European equity, mezzanine and senior debt investments. The firm typically invests between €5m and €500m per transaction in equity, mezzanine debt and senior debt to fund growth, acquisitions and recapitalisations.
