EQT already paid $250,000 for the deal, with the remaining consideration to be paid upon deal completion.
The deal, anticipated to be concluded in the first quarter of 2018, will be funded by existing liquidity and debt facilities.
EQT managing director Mick O’Brien said: “The acquisition and partnership with OneVue allow both groups to play to their strengths, for the ultimate benefit of clients and shareholders. It is because Equity Trustees is a specialist provider of fiduciary services that we can form strong partnerships with capable industry participants that benefit all parties.”
The two companies have also signed an agreement, under which Equity Trustees will outsource the administration of its managed funds to OneVue.
