Global alternative investment firm Man Investments expanded its Canadian presence On Wednesday with the opening of an office in Calgary.

The office is Man Investments’ third in Canada, with others located in Toronto and Montreal. The Calgary location will act as a hub to Western Canada — a region that Man Investments expects to experience continued financial growth, the company said in a release.

Toreigh Stuart, CEO of Man Investments Canada Corp, spearheaded the expansion. The new office will be staffed with Lawrence Berrigan, executive vice president, Athas Kouvaras, regional sales manager and Jaclyn Britton, internal sales.

“Our new presence in Calgary reflects the growing demand for alternative investment solutions to compliment the accelerated growth pattern in the region,” said Stuart in a statement.

“Calgary, and all of Western Canada, is home to an increasingly high number of sophisticated investors who demand unparalleled experience, high-quality service and access to a wide variety of products, funds and global markets.”

The location will provide an opportunity for organic growth, by fostering relationships with clients and distribution partners across the country, the company says.
