Equiom has acquired HF Fund Services, based in the Cayman Islands and Ireland.
HF Fund Services provides independent non-executive directors to alternative investment funds and investment management companies, mainly for a blue-chip institutional client base.
The director team, which will be incorporated into Equiom, has experience in fund administration, investment management, and law.
The addition of the Cayman Islands and Ireland offices add to Equiom’s presence in the Americas and Europe.
Mark Porter, CEO of Equiom, commented: “HF represents a strategic investment into our funds governance capability. Our focus is on providing services from Tier-1 fund jurisdictions to high quality asset managers in key global financial centres.”
“This capability is highly complementary to our existing fiduciary service model and allows us to extend our service offering for clients looking for fund servicing capabilities, particularly in alternative asset classes.”
Sean Flynn, managing director of HF, added: “Going forward, our clients can still expect the same high service standards they are used to, but with the added benefit of gaining access to the international reach and expertise of a global group which is committed to providing a comprehensive offering to investors and asset managers.”
“Equiom is a forward thinking and ambitious business with clear values – all of which are a sound fit for our business model. We look forward to fully integrating with Equiom over the coming months and working closely with our colleagues across the group to continue to provide exceptional service.”
