TORONTO and WASHINGTON, D.C., June 4, 2025 – Astris Finance partners with leading diversified professional services and investment management company Colliers to further expand its global investment banking platform focused on infrastructure and energy transition.
Astris Finance and Colliers (NASDAQ, TSX: CIGI) announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Colliers will acquire a controlling interest in Astris Finance. Under Colliers’ unique partnership model, the senior leadership of Astris Finance, along with nine senior team members who will become partners, will retain significant ownership in the business. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025. Terms were not disclosed.
Founded in 2000, Astris Finance has 65 professionals across nine offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The firm provides strategic and transaction advisory services including M&A, project finance, and other long-term capital raising to the world’s leading developers and investors in transportation, renewable energy, power generation and distribution, as well as digital and social infrastructure. Over the past three years, Astris Finance has ranked among the top three financial advisors in the IJ Global Renewables League Tables by number of transactions closed globally -- and first at the European level. To date, the firm has advised on more than 400 transactions totaling over $60 billion in investment.
“Colliers manages more than $25 billion of energy transition and other infrastructure assets through our Investment Management segment and we deliver comprehensive technical design and consulting services to the same sectors through our Engineering segment,” said Elias Mulamoottil, Co-Chief Investment Officer of Colliers. “With Astris Finance, we significantly expand our investment banking capabilities, allowing us to better serve institutional clients and capitalize on the growing global demand for infrastructure that supports urbanization, energy security, and decarbonization.”
“Over the past 25 years, we’ve built Astris Finance into a leading global advisor in the infrastructure and energy transition space,” said Fabrice Henry, Founding Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Astris Finance. “Partnering with Colliers, a global leader in professional services with a strong track record, deep institutional credibility, and long-standing relationships in our sector, is a natural next step in accelerating our growth. Together, we will expand our reach, broaden our advisory capabilities, and unlock new opportunities to serve our clients around the world. We couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead.”
Astris’s senior partner team, led by CEO Fabrice Henry, will implement the firm’s expansion strategy across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific:
Tobey Collins will leave her role as Head of Americas to become Chief Growth Officer, responsible for steering inorganic growth.
Romain Papassian will take over as Head of Americas; beyond the consolidation of our leading position in Latin America, he will focus on growing the firm’s presence in the US and Canada.
