BG Capital has finalized the acquisition of DBL Capital, a brokerage company in Georgia. The deal brings BG Capital’s total assets under management to US$ 60mn.

Nick Piazza, CEO of BG Capital, noted the deal is part of the company’s broader strategy of expanding its business in Georgia. “The acquisition brings BG Capital’s share of the Georgian securities market to nearly 80%. In addition, we’re actively working on the local bond market and about to start working with local governments on municipal debt issues. On the investment banking side, we’re looking at two equity listings on the Georgian Stock Exchange this year,” Nick Piazza said.

DBL Capital was established in 2007 in Tbilisi, Georgia, and offers brokerage, equity and debt financing, and asset management services. In 2008, DBL Capital acquired six financial sector companies in Georgia.
