Centralis Group, a global alternative asset and corporate services provider, has acquired PINE Advisor Solutions, a US-based provider of compliance, fund officer, and distribution services to asset managers.
The transaction creates a multijurisdictional fund services platform for local and global asset managers.
This acquisition extends Centralis’ reach to the US market and will further strengthen the company’s capabilities in regulatory compliance and fund services as well as accelerate Centralis’ entry into registered funds, evergreen wrappers, and active exchange traded funds (ETFs).
PINE acts as a distributor for more than US$25 billion in ETF assets and provides outsourced chief compliance officer (oCCO) and principal financial officer (oPFO) services for US registered funds.
The provider also offers outsourced chief financial officer (oCFO) and regulatory compliance services for private funds and to a growing base of traditional and alternative asset managers.
Aidan Foley, CEO of Centralis, comments: “Our complementary businesses and shared commitment to providing clients with high-touch, specialised service make for a strong partnership and will allow us to support PINE and its clients as they navigate a rapidly evolving regulatory environment and abundant growth opportunities.
"This partnership represents a key milestone in our growth strategy to explore new business lines and jurisdictions.”
Derek Mullins, co-founder and managing partner, PINE Advisor Solutions, remarks: “Our clients will continue to work with the same team and receive the same level of service they've always known from us, now backed by the institutional strength of a global platform, with more resources, deeper expertise, and continued investment in the services they rely on. We're excited about what we can build together.”
