Ocorian has completed the previously announced acquisition of Nordic Trustee, which offers trustee and agency services for bonds and direct lending in the Nordic region.

The financial terms of the deal, which was first announced in June this year, were not disclosed.

The deal is part of Ocorian’s strategy to further build our capital markets offering.

Nordic Trustee CEO Cato Holmsen will continue to lead the firm, whose current management team will also remain in place.

The team will continue to manage Nordic Trustee’s business and secure the company’s role as an independent bond trustee and loan agent across the region with offices in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki.

Ocorian chairman and CEO Frederik Tuyll remarked that Nordic Trustee is highly complementary to the company’s existing global network.
