At its heart, this combination will deliver more attractive opportunities for our clients.

This integration is a milestone in Stoneweg's growth trajectory and strengthens our position in the market as a leading real asset investment group. We have worked with Max-Hervé George and his teams from Icona Capital on numerous acquisitions and we are eager to work together as one team. Following on from the recent acquisition of the Cromwell Property Group's European Platform, we are now taking another transformative step as we combine our two dynamic businesses into their two respective fields of expertise: Real Assets and Alternative Investments, all under the single, powerful brand of the SWI Group.
