Imperium Group Expands International Presence with Acquisition of Nightingale Trustees SA
Imperium Group, an independent, privately owned fiduciary and fund services company headquartered in Guernsey, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Nightingale Trustees SA (NTSA), a respected fiduciary services provider based in Geneva, Switzerland.
This strategic acquisition, which has received approval from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), represents continued international growth for Imperium Group.
NTSA will be rebranded to Imperium as part of the integration process in the coming weeks. The acquisition establishes a strong foothold for Imperium in Switzerland, expands its presence, and enables the company to expand its private client services to a global client base with enhanced capabilities in the Swiss market.
David Gilmour, managing director of Imperium Group, will join the board of the Swiss business. The entire existing team in Geneva will remain in place, ensuring continuity and seamless service delivery to all current clients.
“We are excited to welcome NTSA to the Imperium family. This acquisition enhances our international offering and allows Imperium to expand our fiduciary services into the Swiss market which has been an aim of the Group for some time. We remain committed to delivering the highest standard of service and look forward to working closely with our clients and partners in Switzerland and beyond.” commented David Gilmour, of Imperium Group.
“While the acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for both Imperium and NTSA, clients can expect no material changes to the day-to-day operations, and the team in Geneva remains dedicated to maintaining the high level of service and commitment that has defined NTSA for years” David concludes.
