Ocorian

What Ocorian does

Ocorian is a Jersey-headquartered global asset servicer providing integrated fund administration, corporate services, capital markets administration, regulatory and compliance consulting, and private client fiduciary services across 25+ jurisdictions. The company serves four enterprise segments — asset managers (alternative investment funds including private equity, real estate, venture capital, listed funds, private debt, Islamic finance, and infrastructure), financial institutions (banks, insurers, and capital markets participants), corporations (cross-border entity management and employee incentives), and high-net-worth individuals and family offices (trust, foundation, and succession planning) — administering £275 billion in assets across 20,000+ structures for 9,000+ clients.

The platform is built around an integrated service model spanning the full investment and wealth lifecycle, supported by industry-standard systems with system-generated workflows integrated into client operations. Sub-brands and acquired entities include Nordic Trustee (independent European infrastructure trustee and agency, acquired 2021), Bovill (regulatory consultancy with 120+ specialists and 580+ clients, acquired February 2024), E78 Fund Solutions (U.S. fund administration, acquired 2025), The Gateway (compliance monitoring platform), and Ocorian Law. The company is investing in digital transformation under a Chief Digital Officer and has built out a Global Head of Capability Centres function to standardize, automate, and centralize delivery.

Ocorian generates revenue primarily through recurring subscription-style fees for fund administration, corporate, and fiduciary services, supplemented by managed services fees for capital markets transactions and professional services fees for regulatory and compliance consulting. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based, reflecting structure complexity, jurisdictional footprint, and service scope, typically under multi-year contracts. The company is privately held by Inflexion (which moved the position into a continuation vehicle in late 2024) and is led by Co-CEOs Craig Buick and Yegor Lanovenko (appointed February 2026), Chair Martin Block (appointed November 2025), and CFO Christian Teixeira.
