Meet the partners who lead NSIG's relationship-driven approach to infrastructure and commodity investment access across emerging and frontier markets.
Our Partners
Nazar Astanov
Nazar Astanov is a Partner at North Star Investment Group, where he plays a central role in deal origination, regional stakeholder coordination, and strategic market access across Central Asia and other emerging markets.
With deep roots in the region and an extensive network of government, institutional, and private-sector relationships, Nazar helps NSIG identify and access opportunities that are not available through conventional channels. His ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments and build trust across cultures is foundational to NSIG's approach.
Kaidan Stas
Kaidan Stas is a Partner at North Star Investment Group, where he leads capital partner engagement, transaction structuring, and strategic development initiatives across NSIG's focus sectors.
Kaidan brings a disciplined, execution-oriented approach to connecting institutional and private capital with relationship-gated opportunities in infrastructure, commodities, and strategic real assets. His focus on credibility, alignment, and long-term value creation drives NSIG's partnerships with capital allocators worldwide.
Built on relationships, driven by conviction
NSIG's leadership operates with a clear philosophy: the most valuable opportunities in emerging markets are not found through databases, auctions, or open listings. They are accessed through trust, timing, and credibility built over years of consistent engagement.
Together, Nazar and Kaidan bring a complementary skill set — combining regional depth with institutional discipline — that enables NSIG to operate where others cannot.
