Suntera has acquired London-based Thornbridge Investment Management, strengthening its UK fund services offering.
The acquisition expands the Jersey-headquartered firm's presence in the open-ended and liquid funds market, while broadening its appointed representative (AR) and delegated fund management capabilities.
Founded in 2015, Thornbridge is a UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)-regulated investment management and AR services provider.
The firm offers a range of services to fund managers, including AR and delegated fund management solutions, compliance support, and regulatory infrastructure.
Thornbridge is also registered with the US National Futures Association as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading adviser.
The firm holds a controlling share in Fundline, a Guernsey-incorporated entity already administered by Suntera.
As part of the acquisition, Suntera will add 13 UK-based professionals to its team, alongside a number of external consultants and advisers.
Commenting on the acquisition, David Hudson, CEO of Suntera, says: “This acquisition marks another key development in Suntera’s growth journey, as we continue to extend our fund servicing capabilities spanning a full range of asset classes in the key UK market.
“With Suntera already providing administration services to Thornbridge’s Guernsey-domiciled Fundline investment vehicle, we have built a very positive relationship with the team, and I’m delighted to welcome them to the group.”
Patrick Hall, CEO of Thornbridge Investment Management, adds: “This is an exciting milestone for Thornbridge that reflects our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, specialist solutions to our clients.
“By joining Suntera, Thornbridge becomes part of a major international group with an established presence across key financial centres, something that will further enhance the breadth of services available to our clients, delivered with the same personalised service that sits at the heart of the Thornbridge approach.”
