Agentis Capital is opening a new office in Toronto this May, expanding its investment banking and financial advisory presence to complement its Vancouver headquarters. Fred Robert, who joined Agentis in February from the Public Sector Pension Investment Board, is leading the new Toronto team. He is responsible for expanding Agentis’ execution capabilities and enhancing coverage of infrastructure investors.
Prior to Agentis, Robert was a manager in the infrastructure investments group at PSP, one of Canada’s largest pension funds. He participated in direct transactions globally in transportation, utilities, power, telecommunication and several other assets exhibiting infrastructure-like characteristics, with a total transaction value in excess of $2 billion.
Agentis is opening the office to take advantage of Toronto’s position as a global infrastructure hub, and intends to bolster the team with additional hires during the coming months.
Agentis is a financial adviser as well as an investor. As a financial adviser, Agentis specializes in infrastructure and mid-market mergers and acquisitions with clients ranging from family offices and fund managers to large institutional investors. Agentis has completed nearly $20 billion in financial advisory transactions since its founding in 2009. As an investor, Agentis participates and leads technology and distressed investments.
