The SALVUS Mergers & Acquisitions team is pleased to announce the successful facilitation of the sale of a UK FCA-authorised Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) entity.

The opportunity attracted interest from buyers seeking an established UK-regulated fund management structure, supported by the credibility of an FCA-authorised framework and the ability to pursue a regulated presence in one of the world’s leading financial services jurisdictions.

SALVUS acted on behalf of the seller by identifying and introducing a suitable buyer, coordinating communications between the relevant stakeholders, and supporting the overall transaction process. This included assisting with the structuring, negotiation and execution pathway, while helping the parties remain aligned on the commercial, regulatory and operational considerations required for a smooth and efficient completion.

The transaction has now reached an important regulatory milestone, with the Change in Control application submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) completed and approved.

This successful transaction further reinforces SALVUS’ track record in facilitating the acquisition and sale of regulated financial entities across key jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, and supporting clients through complex regulatory change-of-control processes.
