ambition is in the detail

There’s a lot riding on the detail

A fund launch. A cross-border transaction. Complex succession planning. Every ambition brings different challenges, and the right support makes a difference. We combine specialist expertise, intelligent technology and international capabilities with the personal relationships and local understanding that help our clients move forward with confidence.

What are you working towards?

Start with your priorities. We will help you find the relevant people and services.

Fund managers

Keep your focus on your investors and investment.

Launching a fund, entering a new market or meeting institutional investor expectations takes time and attention. We support first-time managers, spin-outs and established fund managers across alternative assets, handling fund establishment, accounting, investor services, governance and fund migration. In the Nordics, our appropriately regulated businesses also provide depositary services; other regulated fund services depend on the jurisdiction and relevant authorisations.

Individuals, families and advisers

Protect what matters today. Plan for what comes next.

Family wealth is rarely just about investments. It involves relationships, business interests and choices one generation leaves to the next. As structures become more involved, discretion, continuity and good administration matter.

Our Private Capital teams in Jersey, Guernsey and the Cayman Islands work with families, individuals, family offices and their advisers, supporting trusts, foundations, private trust companies, investment structures, governance and succession. Our teams also provide family office administration and consolidated financial reporting, working alongside existing legal, tax and investment advisers. In London, we also support domestic trusts and selected family office requirements.

Corporates and business owners

Whether you are establishing a company, expanding internationally, raising capital or preparing for a transaction, effective corporate administration supports what comes next.

We work with entrepreneurs, SMEs and multinational groups, administering companies, SPVs, holding vehicles and joint ventures. Our Corporate Services teams provide registered office, company secretarial, accounting, reporting and governance support, and support restructuring and transactions.

Where ownership, investment or succession needs extend beyond the business, we involve Private Capital specialists, working with your advisers and Highvern teams across jurisdictions.

Intermediaries and professional advisers

A good introduction should strengthen the relationship you have built.

When a client needs a fund administrator, corporate services provider or fiduciary expertise in another jurisdiction, your recommendation matters. You need a team that understands the brief, handles complexity and keeps the right people involved.

We work with lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, investment consultants, corporate financiers and other intermediaries, providing fund, corporate and private capital support. Where requirements cross services or jurisdictions, we bring together the relevant Highvern teams rather than leaving you to coordinate multiple providers.

Expertise that works for you

Real life rarely follows a service menu. A fund manager may need investment holding companies. A family business may be preparing for succession. An adviser may be coordinating arrangements in several countries.

We can connect the relevant fund, corporate and private capital teams when those needs overlap. Our international presence brings local knowledge into a wider relationship, while each service remains delivered through the appropriate Highvern business and under the requirements of its jurisdiction.

Tell us what you are working towards

You might be planning something new, trying to simplify an existing arrangement or looking for a more responsive administrator. Tell us what needs to happen. We will help you find the Highvern specialists best placed to discuss it.

Common questions

Do I need to know which Highvern service is right for me?

No. Tell us what you are working towards, the structures involved and the jurisdictions that matter. We can help identify the relevant specialists and discuss which services may be appropriate.

Will Highvern work with our existing legal, tax or investment advisers?

Yes. We regularly work alongside clients’ professional advisers and family office teams. Our role is to provide the administration, governance, fiduciary or regulated services within the relevant mandate, not to replace the client’s legal, tax or investment advice.

Are all Highvern services available in every location?

No. We provide Fund Services through relevant entities in selected jurisdictions, while Private Capital services are delivered from Jersey, Guernsey and the Cayman Islands, with selected domestic trust and family office services also available in London. Depositary services are currently available in the Nordics, and other regulated services depend on the relevant permissions.
