We are pleased to have advised the lenders on AnaCap’s acquisition of a majority stake in Fiduciaire Jean Marc Faber (FJMF), a leading Luxembourg-based provider of corporate and fund services.
FJMF offers a full suite of trust, fund, and corporate services, including corporate administration, accountancy, trust, fund, and payroll services. With approximately 70 full-time professionals, FJMF is a member of the Ordre des Experts-Comptables and serves as a “one-stop-shop” provider for over 1,800 clients, primarily institutional fund customers and patrimonial clients.
This transaction marks a significant step in AnaCap’s continued investment in the financial services sector, reinforcing its strategy of partnering with high-quality businesses to drive growth and innovation. It also reflects the current interest by private equity funds to invest in the Luxembourg financial sector across the board and their appetite for European professional services firms. Notably, in March 2024, Cinven Ltd. made a strategic investment in Alter Domus, valuing the fund administrator at $5.3 billion. Additionally, in February 2024, Hellman & Friedman LLC and Valeas Capital Partners Management LP acquired a majority stake in Baker Tilly US LLP, and in March 2024, New Mountain Capital LLC invested in Grant Thornton LLP.
