Linnovate Partners Asset Servicing Group, a global provider of technology-driven fund services, has made a majority stake investment in Adansonia Management Services, a Mauritian offshore management company licensed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC).
Subject to approval by the FSC, the firm says this partnership with Adansonia’s founding managers establishes Linnovate's presence in Mauritius, a gateway for investment opportunities to Africa and the Pan-Pacific.
Adansonia brings decades of industry experience, with particular expertise in supporting and facilitating investment flows into Africa.
Henry Lin, CEO of Linnovate Partners, says: "This partnership with Adansonia is a celebration of a shared vision. The last few months have been a thoughtful process, and we are delighted to welcome the Adansonia team into the Linnovate Partners Group.
"Our commitment is to support and empower the existing Adansonia team. Their exceptional on-the-ground knowledge is their greatest asset, and together, we will grow the business, offering our combined clients an unparalleled, locally expert yet globally connected service from this strategic location."
Brendon Jones, CEO of Adansonia Group, comments: “Joining Linnovate is a natural evolution for Adansonia as we share a client-centric philosophy and a commitment to excellence.
“This partnership allows us to preserve the service and deep local relationships we've built, while now being backed by Linnovate's global platform and technological strength.
“We are not just joining a larger organisation, we are co-creating the future of fund services in this region and for our international clients. Our entire team is energized to write this next chapter together."
As part of the transaction, Adansonia will continue operating under its established name and structure and the existing leadership team will remain in place.
