Foresight opens office in Luxembourg
Foresight has opened its fourth office outside the UK, in Luxembourg.
With the office, the firm gains an Alternative Investment Fund Manager licence, which will enable Foresight to meet the needs of its EU investor base.
Foresight currently manages two EU-domiciled funds, the €75m Foresight Italian Green Bond Fund and €430m vehicle Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners.
The Luxembourg office will be led by Adela Baho and Jasper Jansen, who have each joined Foresight as directors and conducting officers.
Baho will be responsible for risk management and valuation in the infrastructure sector. Prior to Foresight, she worked at Intertrust and Credit Suisse Group as head of risk management. Baho established Credit Suisse's risk management processes to obtain the licence to launch infrastructure funds under the Luxembourg Regulation.
Jansen joined the firm in March 2020 from Prime Capital, where he was also a conducting officer and director. He has also worked in audit at KPMG.
