The firm made two investments over the summer, according to its website. In August, Nordic arranged and underwrote a mezzanine loan for Advania, a leading Nordic Information Technology company operating throughout the region and with its headquarters in Iceland. The loan supported the acquisition of a majority stake in the business.
