VSA Capital

VSA Capital is delighted to announce a landmark strategic partnership in the UK with Drakewood Capital Management Limited. With offices in London, New York and Singapore, Drakewood is a leading investment manager bringing metal sector opportunities to institutional and other types of investors. VSA and Drakewood will support each other across commodities trading, commodity fund management and commodity investment banking and broking, and VSA expects the Parties’ collaboration to lead to a compelling and unique advisory, fundraising and capital services offering for junior mining companies. Andrew Monk, CEO of VSA commented: "Due to recent pressure for all players in Investment Banking in London and a prolonged funding drought for the junior mining sector, the junior mining sector offers a unique opportunity for VSA in collaboration with Drakewood to capitalise on this situation and become a much more dominant player in the junior mining sector. By providing a compelling, unique offering, we expect VSA to attract a larger client base, increased deal flow, and ultimately, achieve significant success. The junior mining sector is probably already in a bull market phase, and we expect it to experience growth similar to the commodities boom between 2000 and 2008. For those positioned correctly, the potential rewards could be substantial." David Lilley, CEO of Drakewood commented: "Drakewood is a leading investment manager bringing metal sector opportunities to institutional and other types of investors. We build and manage specialised investment solutions targeting complex opportunities across the global metals value chain. We believe this investment positions us well to take advantage of the evolving opportunity set across the metals and mining ecosystem and expect to realize several shared benefits that will support our ability to deliver attractive investment returns for our investors, including supply side market research and analysis and a broader set of local operator relationships. We have enjoyed the opportunity to develop a great relationship with the VSA team and believe they will bring impactful synergies to the Drakewood platform and strengthen our position as a creative solutions provider to investors seeking differentiated exposure to our markets."
