TMF Group to acquire Selectra Management Company

City of Luxembourg

TMF Group and Farad Group jointly announce the signing of an agreement for the acquisition of Selectra Management Company by TMF Group from Farad Group. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier.

Selectra Management Company (“Selectra”) is a regulated management company based in Luxembourg servicing both Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS).

The strategic acquisition of Selectra is a key milestone in TMF Group’s drive to further grow its fund services business. Selectra’s expertise and service offering will complement TMF Group’s fund activities in Luxembourg.

We’re delighted to welcome Selectra, their staff and their clients to TMF Group. Selectra is a well-established management company with the experience and the licenses to provide all the services that their clients – and our clients – require. This will be a huge step forward for our organisation.”
