Clearwater has advised Trustmoore, a global corporate services company, on its acquisition of Funds Avenue, a Luxembourg-based management company and AIFM. Fuchs Asset Management previously rebranded as Funds Avenue, which was completed in line with its strategic partnership with Trustmoore. In this acquisition, Clearwater advised on structuring, due diligence, and negotiations.

Trustmoore is a global corporate services company providing legal and financial administration, alongside private client solutions, in a non-corporate way. From structuring investment funds and managing capital markets transactions, to setting up family offices or supporting international corporate expansion, it makes its clients’ success possible through a personal approach and tailor-made services.

Funds Avenue is an independent third-party management company and AIFM, providing governance and substance solutions to fund managers around the globe. Based in Luxembourg, it operates in an open architecture and offers a wide range of services to investment funds. Its core aim is to help fund managers navigate the regulatory landscape.

I am glad that the founding principle of Trustmoore - aligning our success with our clients' success - resonates with Funds Avenue's main principle. This shared value demonstrates a strong commitment to client satisfaction and success. At the same time, I am excited to see our Luxembourg office grow to 90 people, with the Funds Avenue team joining us on our Rue Dicks location. The cooperation with Timothe and collective efforts of the Funds Avenue and Trustmoore teams in successfully establishing this partnership, has been exemplary in every way and gives me great confidence for the future. We are very pleased to have worked again with Willem Daris and the Clearwater team on this important transaction.
