Fidante Partners brings in Montfort Communications

International investment management business Fidante Partners has appointed Montfort Communications to develop and implement a global communications programme.

Fidante is an Australia-headquartered business that expanded last year with the acquisition of Dexion Capital, the European alternative investments firm .

Earlier this year Dexion was rebranded as Fidante Capital as part of a Fidante brand relaunch supported by Montfort.

Anna Traniello, head of marketing and communications at Fidante Capital, said: “We wanted a PR adviser who really understood our industry, the key players within it and the relevant media.

“We were impressed by Montfort’s grasp of our vision for a newly combined investment management business as well as its understanding of the opportunities and challenges that accompany such an acquisition.”

Gay Collins (pictured), founding partner at Montfort Communications, said: “Dexion Capital and Fidante Partners both have great heritages in their home territories, and the combined business is at a fascinating stage in its development.

“Fidante already has a successful model supporting specialist asset management companies in Australia and we look forward to supporting its growth in the European market.”
