The boutique run by ex-Lehman Brothers investment banking star Michael Tory has picked up a mandate on the planned initial public offering of funds house Gartmore - its first big capital markets assignment and potentially one of the largest UK floats this year.
Ondra Partners, which was founded by ex-Lehman Brothers UK investment banking head Tory last December, is advising Hellman & Friedman, the private equity firm that owns a 52% stake in asset manager Gartmore.
