The Capital Markets unit focuses on real estate transactions and debt advisory. The unit serves institutional real estate investors in the acquisition and disposal of properties and portfolios as well as in arranging financing and debt structuring. The new business complements Axiom’s existing service offering and strengthens the company’s position as a full-service advisor to real estate investors. Axiom Advisors operates also as the Finnish associate of the international real estate advisor Savills which brings access to a global network of investors and capital.

Antti Seppälä holds a Master of Science (Economics) degree majoring in Finance and a Master of Science (Technology) degree in Real Estate Economics. Both degrees are from the Aalto University where Antti Seppälä has also conducted doctoral research.

Before joining Axiom, Antti Seppälä worked for over five years as an entrepreneur at Arctos Advisors, handling a wide range of real estate assignments. Prior to entrepreneurship, he spent several years at YIT Oyj, where he was responsible for, among other things, real estate transactions and project financing. Antti has also significant experience in mergers and acquisitions and infrastructure investments.

“I am grateful to Axiom and its current partners for this opportunity. It is wonderful to be able to continue serving the industry’s clients in such an excellent environment, surrounded by people with broad expertise. My decision to join Axiom was supported in particular by the company’s excellent reputation, shared values and the international reach enabled by the Savills collaboration”, says Seppälä of his move.

“Establishing the Capital Markets business is a natural step on Axiom’s growth path and makes our advisory service offering even more comprehensive. Antti is known in the industry as a respected and versatile expert in transactions, financing and mergers and acquisitions, with a strong track record of serving his clients. His experience and reputation create an excellent foundation for the new business. We warmly welcome Antti to build Axiom’s next growth phase”, comments Tero Lehtonen, CEO of Axiom Advisors.
