The boutique fund management arm of listed Australian manager Challenger has bought UK-based alternatives group Dexion Capital, in a move that “substantially expands” its presence in Europe.

Fidante Partners, the boutique funds unit of A$60.4 billion (£28.9 billion) investment manager Challenger, hopes the deal will enable it to bring its "multi-boutique model" to Europe, using Dexion's distribution channels to boost its UK operations, according to a Challenger statement on Wednesday.
