BlackFin Capital Partners backen-blauwtrust Groep, a company in Dutch mortgage servicing and distribution, agreed to acquire a minority stake of ROMEO Financiële diensten, a mortgage lender, from Aegon Growth Capital Fund, a fund from multinational life insurance, pensions and asset management company. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Our ambition is to be active in all parts of the mort-gage value chain so that we can optimize our services. We have found that service providers can be a valuable link between intermediaries and lenders. With its customer-oriented operating concepts, sup-ported by its own software solutions, Romeo FD has successfully proven this in recent years and has a good basis for further growth. This minority interest gives us the opportunity to gain access to this part of the mortgage value chain and also to explore how we can further broaden and improve the service for both customer groups,” Ferdinand Veenman, Blauwtrust Groep CEO.
