Centralis Group, a leading global provider of alternative asset and corporate services, has announced HGGC as its new majority investor. HGGC, a values-driven investment firm managing over $8 billion in assets, joins Centralis to support its continued global expansion and client-focused growth strategy.
The agreement, initially signed in February 2025, has now officially closed following the completion of standard regulatory approvals. Financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed.
Centralis collaborates with alternative investment managers and multinational corporations, offering tailored fund administration, SPV-fund linked services, capital markets, global expansion and governance solutions. Headquartered in Luxembourg, with key locations in the US and UK, the Group’s global footprint spans 13 countries.
As global alternative asset managers grow and diversify, the demand for service providers like Centralis that integrate more deeply, deliver tailored support and harness technology to unlock value has intensified. Centralis currently operates in a global total addressable market estimated at circa €18 billion.
Backed by HGGC’s experience and capital, Centralis plans to accelerate its expansion into new geographies, with the US a key strategic priority, while also developing additional business lines to meet these evolving client needs. The Group remains committed to its client-first model, powered by a growing team of sector specialists across local markets.
HGGC has a long track record of scaling technology, business services, financial services, and consumer enterprises. Its ecosystem of investors, operators, and professionals share a mission to build leading enterprises and long-term value.
On completion, HGGC’s David Chung and Matt Roesch joined the Board of Centralis Group as Non-Executive Directors, while CBPE resigned its position on the Board effective immediately. Centralis’ management retain a material shareholding.
Aidan Foley, Chief Executive Officer of Centralis, commented: “On behalf of everyone at Centralis, I am delighted to welcome HGGC as our new majority shareholder and strategic partner. Their investment marks a pivotal moment in Centralis’ evolution – providing the foundation to scale with confidence, broaden our capabilities, and continue delivering trusted, client-centric services in an increasingly complex global environment. We look forward to sharing further details of our growth strategy in the months ahead.”
HGGC commented: “We are pleased to complete this investment in Centralis, a market-leading business with significant growth potential. HGGC backs businesses that it strategically and culturally aligns with, and Centralis is a business we have long admired. We look forward to partnering with Aidan and the management team to position the company to capture opportunities in today’s dynamic financial services sector.”
