Acquisition accelerates Alter Domus’ client-centric growth strategy with the expansion of new capabilities in Australia
Alter Domus, a leading global provider of tech-enabled fund and corporate services for the alternative investment industry, announced that it has agreed to acquire MSC Group to deepen its global client offering in Australia with specialist private credit and alternative assets servicing around trusteeship, custody and fund administration.
The acquisition represents a significant step in the expansion of Alter Domus’ global footprint and reinforces our client-led service model, increasing the firm’s capabilities in Australia and the wider APAC region. Clients of both MSC Group and Alter Domus will benefit immediately on closing from a broader service offering and access to a global platform with unrivalled resources and technological capability.
Babloo Sarin, Global Head of Client Delivery and APAC for Alter Domus commented: “Acquiring MSC Group brings together two complementary teams and underscores our commitment to offering industry-leading services to Australia’s growing alternative assets market. This will see Alter Domus adding licensed capabilities in Australia and in key APAC areas to serve expanding demand among Private Credit and alternative asset clients.”
