Bangladesh is a growing economy with substantial investment requirements from private and public enterprises specially in, but not limited to, the infrastructure, telecommunication and energy sectors. Union Capital, formerly Peregrine Bangladesh, was established in Dhaka during the summer of 1995 to participate in this development by helping to mobilize capital from domestic as well as international sources. It was the first international investment bank in Bangladesh with a strong team of local and international professionals providing clients with world-class service. Within a very short time, the company developed excellent working relationship with most of the financial institutions and corporations in Bangladesh. Union Capital, which has retained all expertise of Peregrine Bangladesh, continues to develop the existing relationships as well as create new ones.

With the economy developing at a steady pace, infrastructure and enterprise development across a wide spectrum of sectors will transform Bangladesh into a leading emerging country in the 21st century. When it comes to these development projects, financial structures can become complex. The needs of highly capital-intensive industries with long pay-back periods are just as large and complex. Union Capital, through its predecessor company, has an established track record of advising and funding large industrial and infrastructure facilities.

Bangladesh will see higher growth through the continuation of reform process, deregulation, privatization and optimal use of its internal and external resources. Union Capital is at the forefront of providing solutions to some of the continuous funding requirements to support this growth.
