Alter Domus, a global provider of tech-enabled fund and corporate services for the alternative investment industry, has agreed to acquire MSC Group, a professional trustee, custody, financial intermediary, and fund administration services provider.
Through this acquisition, the firm aims at deepening its global client offering in Australia with specialist private credit and alternative assets servicing around custody and fund administration.
Clients of both MSC Group and Alter Domus will benefit immediately on closing from a broader service offering and access to a global platform with unrivalled resources and technological capability, the firm notes.
The transaction is expected to close later this year following regulatory approvals.
Babloo Sarin, global head of Client Delivery and APAC for Alter Domus, says: “Acquiring MSC Group brings together two complementary teams and underscores our commitment to offering industry-leading services to Australia’s growing alternative assets market.
“This will see Alter Domus adding licensed capabilities in Australia and in key APAC areas to serve expanding demand among Private Credit and alternative asset clients.”
Matthew Fletcher, founder and group managing director of MSC Group, adds: “Joining the Alter Domus global platform enhances our service delivery with increased resources, technology investment, and expanded capabilities.
“We look forward to joining the Alter Domus global team and bringing the benefits of this to our clients in Australia and the APAC region.”
