, a Jersey-headquartered provider of fund, corporate and private wealth services, has bought UK-based depositary services business Marick Capital Limited.

The deal follows Suntera's acquisition of London-based fund administration and corporate service provider Khepri in July 2025, which will shortly be integrated under the Suntera brand.

The acquisition also supports Suntera’s expansion into private markets and alternative funds, it said in a statement yesterday. 

Marick Capital, the wholly owned subsidiary of Marick Real Estate, serves UK real estate and venture capital clients. It holds Financial Conduct Authority permissions to act as an operator, sub-threshold alternative investment fund manager (AIFM), and depositary of unauthorised alternative investment funds (AIFs). This provides a regulatory platform for Suntera to expand its UK-regulated service offering. 

Combined with the existing Suntera UK team, the deal enables Suntera to offer a fully-integrated fund services proposition in the UK, spanning administration, corporate secretarial, appointed representative, AIFM & ManCo, depositary, and compliance consulting.

Suntera employs more than 500 specialists from offices in the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, India, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Luxembourg, Singapore, the UK and the USA.
