Jersey-headquartered Suntera Global has announced the acquisition of Singapore-headquartered fund and corporate service provider, Aurtus Singapore.   

It marks Suntera’s eleventh acquisition since 2019 and establishes its presence in Singapore for the first time, reflecting its “multijurisdictional growth strategy and reinforcing its proposition in the Asian market”.  

Aurtus Singapore was established in 2023 and provides tax compliance, tax advisory, accounting and corporate secretarial services to blue-chip corporate clients and family offices, as well as a rapidly-growing investment funds client base utilising Singapore’s popular Variable Capital Company (VCC) structure.

The team of 21 is led by founder and Managing Director Mahip Gupta, who will remain with the business. 

Suntera says the acquisition “adds further strength” to its global corporate and fund services proposition, while “augmenting its complementary support services” across tax, accounting and compliance. 

“This acquisition marks another significant milestone in our ambitious global growth strategy, in particular adding a new tier one and strategically important jurisdiction in Singapore to our network,” said David Hudson, CEO of Suntera. 

“As well as strengthening our capabilities in Asia, this acquisition also brings with it a market-leading specialist team with unique capabilities and a strong client base, spanning Singapore’s VCC market as well as multinational corporates. I’m pleased to welcome our new colleagues to Suntera.” 

Mr Gupta said: “Having established Aurtus Singapore in 2023, our team has grown rapidly to support the increasingly complex needs of investment fund managers in Singapore and global blue-chip corporates, driven by a commitment to providing high-quality service and technical expertise. 

“The team at Suntera clearly shares those same values, and becoming part of their global and growing network represents a fantastic opportunity to continue on our journey and offer clients access to a broader range of complementary multijurisdictional solutions.”
