This new office will complement our existing offices in North America and further strengthen the experience and expertise we can provide to our clients in this critical region. Initially our focus in Canada will be around our Alternative Investments business, however we plan to build upon our existing local relationships to expand our service capabilities to offer Vistra’s full suite of services across all business lines.”
