Who do you turn to if you are an investor seeking advice or financial instruments to capitalize on high-growth prospects in Ukraine? What if you are a Ukrainian billionaire seeking to offload prized assets and you need a top-notch investment banking group to help broker the deal?
For most investors and Ukrainian businessmen, the answer to this question is a no-brainer: Dragon Capital.
Why? Because Dragon Capital has a proven track record when it comes to trading stocks on Ukraine’s potentially lucrative but tricky stock market, advising on merger and acquisition deals, private placements, initial public offerings and much, much more.
And for many in Ukraine, the group’s founding partner, Czech-born Tomas Fiala is the foremost authority on securities, investment banking, private equity and asset management in Ukraine.
Fiala founded Dragon Capital along with partners in 2000 when his employer, Wood & Company, decided to exit the country. His decision to stay in Ukraine proved to be right and lucrative. After all, eight years of impressive economic growth were just kicking off.
Dragon Capital claims to be number one within many segments of its business, with a 30 percent market share in 2007. Few would dispute this. The firm completed 25 initial public offerings and private placements for Ukrainian companies since 2005, raising $1.7 billion. Dragon’s asset management arm has nearly $1 billion under management. The group’s analysts are widely regarded as the best equity research team in Ukraine.
And that’s why Dragon was chosen number one by Kyiv Post readers.
