MSIF Named Insider Dealmakers Fund of the Year 2007

9th November 2007

Merseyside Special Investment Fund has been named Fund of the Year at the 2007 Insider Dealmakers Awards.

The category, which was sponsored by the North West Regional Development Agency, was the only one without a shortlist due to the overwhelming votes secured from around the regional teams. The award was presented at a glittering ceremony attended by around 850 guests from the North West corporate finance and business community.

Mark Hughes, executive director for Enterprise & Skills at the NWDA said: “The NWDA was pleased to sponsor the Insider Dealmakers Fund of the Year award which was presented to Merseyside Special Investment Fund. The award recognised the Fund’s ability to offer a combination of different types of funding with quality investment support alongside. The fund has benefited hundreds of businesses based on Merseyside and attracted new jobs and investment to the region.”

Michael Taylor, editor of North West Business Insider said: “The people have spoken. MSIF is clearly recognised by the corporate finance community as the best specialist regional fund for businesses which require capital for growth.”

Mark Fuller, managing director of MSIF’s fund manager, AFM said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive this award and would like to thank the North West business and advisory community and all MSIF’s public sector partners for the support they have given to the Fund which has helped us achieve these results.”
