Global service provider Hawksford has continued to strengthen its European capabilities with the acquisitions of United Group’s businesses in both Luxembourg and Malta.
United Group’s fund services business in Luxembourg is licensed by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). It forms part of Hawksford’s operations in the jurisdiction, providing fund and corporate services such as accounting and administration, director services, and tax and payroll services. The business is managed by Co-Country Managing Directors Claude Crauser and Sinan Sar.
In Malta, the business is regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) and offers a comprehensive range of corporate, private client and fund services, including entity formation, general administration, bookkeeping, company secretarial, trustee services and payroll services.
The highly experienced team will continue to be led by Managing Director Mihai Cheregi. Both acquisitions have received regulatory approva.
Michel van Leeuwen (pictured), Chief Executive at Hawksford, commented: “These latest acquisitions represent another milestone in our growth strategy in Europe, where we are focused on adding expertise and on extending our footprint at pace in high quality jurisdictions. As well as further building our presence in Luxembourg, these acquisitions add Malta – another key European jurisdiction – to our global network, bolstering our capability in delivering cutting-edge expertise to support both the ambitions of global asset managers and the growth trajectories of international businesses.”
