Fiduciaire Jean Marc Faber

What Fiduciaire Jean Marc Faber does

Ancorius (formerly Fiduciaire Jean-Marc Faber) is a Luxembourg-headquartered, PE-backed professional services firm offering an integrated suite of corporate services, accounting, tax, fund administration, payroll, family office, and maritime services to a base of more than 1,800 clients. Its regulated activities — particularly fund administration for alternative investment vehicles — are delivered through the wholly-owned PSF-licensed subsidiary Reference Financial Services S.A., which provides NAV calculation, investor reporting, transfer agency, and domiciliation services under CSSF oversight. The firm holds OEC membership and is a licensed Luxembourg maritime manager, and operates branch offices in Luxembourg-Merl and Wecker.

The firm operates on a cloud-native, secure, and scalable infrastructure with an integrated digital ecosystem that supports data management, compliance automation, and secure client collaboration via the my.ancorius.com portal. There is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML, machine-learning models, or developer-facing APIs; the technology positioning emphasises digital workflow, document management, and integrated service delivery rather than algorithmic differentiation. The group has executed a programmatic M&A build-out since the March 2025 AnaCap acquisition, completing the Initium Group acquisition in April 2026 and signing agreements for Unsworth & Associates and Induna, which together expand its footprint into the Netherlands and Nordic markets and bring headcount to over 100 professionals.

Ancorius generates revenue through bespoke, quote-based professional services fees across its multi-service offering, with multi-year contract cadences and a long-tail client mix dominated by SMEs, mid-market corporates, institutional fund managers, and high-net-worth individuals. Following the AnaCap majority investment and the October 2025 rebrand, Johan van den Berg (ex-Trustmoore Luxembourg) leads as Group CEO with Guy Pauwels as Group CFO and Franck Martin as Head of Corporate Development, supported by a General Counsel and dedicated Heads of Corporate Services, Payroll, Accounting, and Personal Tax. The three founding partners remain in operational and ownership roles.
