Supercharging Capital Market Solutions: Kroll’s Growth in Asia Pacific After Madison Pacific Acquisition
In an interview with DealStreetAsia, Alan Booth, Managing Director, Agency and Trustee Services, discussed how Kroll’s acquisition of Madison Pacific in 2025 enhanced our local expertise and broadened our service offerings within the Asia Pacific market.
“We offer clean execution in messy jurisdictions,” says Alan Booth, Managing Director, Agency and Trustee Services at Kroll. An offering more relevant now than ever before considering ongoing geopolitical tensions, where messy jurisdictions have become increasingly commonplace. Uncertainties around capital controls, regulatory frameworks and tariffs have affected businesses large and small, resulting in a sharp rise in the demand for services such as those provided by Kroll.
Describing the firm’s offering, Booth says: “Kroll is part of a unified global platform built to protect, restore and maximize value for clients across the capital structure. As a business, we sit alongside valuation, restructuring, M&A, risk and governance experts, all under one global P&L. Our clients benefit from a single firm approach where execution, structuring and advisory capabilities work fully in sync.”
The APAC market is notoriously complex: a patchwork of legal regimes and credit frameworks, as Booth puts it. Growing Kroll in the region is a strategic imperative. Booth says, “Our team understands how to operate in contentious matters, navigate insolvency regimes and bring deals over the line where others get stuck. With increased demand for facility agent and security agent appointments, especially in bilateral and club private credit transactions, we are filling a clear market need with a service-led, problem-solving approach.”
