Inflexion, a leading European mid-market private equity firm, is pleased to announce that it is supporting its portfolio company Ocorian, a leading global fund, corporate and fiduciary services platform, on its agreement to acquire the Fund Solutions division of Element 78 Partners (“E78”). This transformational acquisition will significantly expand Ocorian’s presence in the US, a key area of strategic focus for the business. Earlier in 2025, Inflexion announced that it was opening an office in North America primarily focused on supporting Inflexion portfolio companies and accelerating their North American market entry through ambitious acquisitions.
This acquisition follows the successful close of Inflexion Continuation Fund I at £2.3bn, the largest multi-asset continuation fund raised in Europe to date. The Fund provides four Inflexion portfolio companies, including Ocorian, with the opportunity to continue their ambitious growth plans with a particular focus on transformational M&A.
Ocorian will combine the E78 Fund Solutions team with its existing global fund services business, which will comprise more than 700 fund services and regulatory & compliance experts once the transaction completes. The E78 Fund Solutions team supports close to 200 alternative investment fund managers (with more than $85 billion in assets under management) throughout their lifecycle, from start to scale, through a diversified range of solutions including Outsourced CFO, Fund Administration, Regulatory Compliance and Tax services. E78 Fund Solutions is able to anchor client relationships from any one of its four service lines, which has enabled considerable growth across its solutions over the past several years.
We are proud to support Ocorian in this transformational acquisition, which marks a significant step forward in expanding its presence in the US – a market of growing strategic importance to the business. This is exactly the kind of partnership and cross-border support we set out to provide to our portfolio companies when we opened our US office, and it is great to see that vision delivering value so quickly.
The US is an incredibly important region for our clients, who increasingly look to us to support them with globally consistent, expert-led and technology-enabled solutions across the globe. We support our European, Asian and US clients internationally and the expert capabilities of E78 Fund Solutions will enhance our funds proposition in this key region.
The transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals.
