Singapore-Headquartered Ascentium Acquires Hong Kong Business

Ascentium said the deal builds on recent acquisitions. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Ascentium,
a Singapore-headquartered business services platform, has
agreed to buy Marbury, a Hong Kong-based corporate advisory and
fund administration services provider, for an undisclosed
sum.
Marbury brings expertise in private equity fund administration
and a team operating across Hong Kong, the British Virgin
Islands, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Singapore.
As part of the integration, Marbury's fund services operations
will migrate to FIS, the platform for onboarding, fund
administration, and compliance.
“This acquisition elevates our fund administration offering and
reinforces our commitment to helping clients grow across
jurisdictions,” Lennard Yong, founding management and group CEO
of Ascentium, said.
Ascentium said the deal builds on recent acquisitions, including
those of Harneys Fiduciary, InCorp Global, Links International
and Virtuzone.
The enlarged group operates in 45 cities across 23 markets with a
team of more than 2,500 professionals.
