Monte Carlo, Monaco, and Irvine, California, February 21, 2024 -- Boustead & Company Limited (“BCL”), through its subsidiary Azura Holdings, Inc., is enhancing its market-leading brand in Europe via the acquisition of the financial advisory firm, Boustead Azura S.A.M., based in the Principality of Monaco.
Monaco, with residents representing over 140 nationalities, offers a unique demographic and financial makeup, which Boustead will seek to present global investment opportunities to. BCL, its principals and Monaco-based partners have established Azura Holdings, Inc. which recently acquired Boustead Azura S.A.M. Boustead Azura currently provides financial advisory services and has applied for additional regulated permissions with the Commission de Contrôle des Activités Financières (CCAF), Monaco’s financial regulator. Azura Holdings, Inc. intends to file an F-1 Registration Statement with the SEC for a US listing in an IPO expected to be completed in 2024-25.
In addition to the robust Equity Capital Markets expertise Boustead brings to the area, the Boustead Azura team has a solid history of corporate finance advisory services, investment management, and a well-established network to bring to both growth stage companies seeking capital and investors seeking to invest capital.
“Being centrally located in the EMEA region, as well as being home to an elite group of global individuals, Boustead’s newest office in Monaco will not only support existing clients in Europe but also provide the opportunity to substantially grow the investor and IPO client pipeline in the region and internationally” said Keith Moore, BCL’s Executive Chairman.
The Boustead Azura team is actively growing its network and presence within the region with partners and affiliates. The current Monaco banking team, headed by James Tarpenning, consists of two EMEA-dedicated staff. Prior to the intended IPO, the team will expand allowing for significant growth in the origination of revenue-generative opportunities.
Boustead Azura is industry agnostic, with the team having deal experience across a wide range of industries.
