Fund administration service Ocorian has acquired corporate services provider A-Pass in Asia. As part of the mandate, A-Pass has rebranded and become part of Ocorian.
Established in Hong Kong in 2006, A-Pass provides company secretarial, accounting, payroll, trust and tax services. Its clients include publicly-listed companies, start-ups and high net worth individuals.
Ocorian says the acquisition of A-Pass will add scale to its existing business in Asia, creating a combined business with the ability to serve a broader range of clients’ requirements.
Andrew Burgin, who was previously managing director at A-Pass, will lead Ocorian’s combined business in Hong Kong. Robin Harris, previously director at A-Pass, will become regional head of APAC at Ocorian.
Ocorian’s global network of funds, capital markets, corporate and private client specialists deliver entity administration, fiduciary and compliance services.
