Vistra said that the takeover will strengthen its service range in Germany, including the provision of audit and fund administration services to alternative investment funds and to alternative investment managers.

Vistra group managing director for corporate & private clients Arjan Schaapman said: “With the acquisition we hope to bridge the gap currently seen in terms of available service providers in the International Expansion market. In addition, their niche position in the German fund administration business gives us a unique position and great opportunities to work together with Vistra’s existing fund administration platform.

“This also sees a significant expansion of our presence in Germany, the largest economy in Mainland Europe, which is a strategic move forward in growing our global footprint.”

Vistra has been on an acquisition spree in the recent times, the most recent being its acquisition of Monaco-based privately owned wealth structuring advisory business Podium SAM in February 2017.
