Commenting on the transaction, Nick Harrold said, "We are pleased to have advised CFIM on the launch of their latest publicly offered fund in Japan which marks over 13 years of collaboration between the Maples Group and CFIM in launching funds for public and private distribution."
"It was a pleasure to once again partner with the team at CFIM on the launch of their latest fund which reflects a broader trend in the market of Japanese investors increasingly seeking yield from global assets", added Costa Valtas.
