Scotia Capital has created a new business unit combining its existing infrastructure advisory, capital markets and lending groups into a single infrastructure finance group covering Canada, the United States and Latin America.

The Global Infrastructure Finance group will be led by Matt Giffen, who will continue to oversee the infrastructure advisory and capital markets team, and Brian Maloney, who will be primarily responsible for the infrastructure lending team.

“Combining Infrastructure Advisory, Capital Markets and Infrastructure Finance into a cohesive team will enable us to achieve greater operational effectiveness with a more competitive platform,” said Giffen. “It also allows us to provide a seamless infrastructure platform to our clients.”

The new infrastructure finance group will offer both clients and Scotia Capital with insights to the global infrastructure market, and will create a more integrated infrastructure platform.

“The infrastructure advisory, capital markets and finance teams have always strived to improve the level of service we provide to our global clients,” said Maloney.
