U.S. based global fund administrator Formidium is taking its first steps into the European market, planning to acquire two fund management companies in Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Global law firm gunnercooke is advising Formidium on these planned acquisitions.

Formidium serves a wide range of funds, including venture capital (VC), private equity (PE), hedge funds, digital assets, SPVs, multi-strategy vehicles, real estate funds, and other alternative investment strategies.

They are supported by a multidisciplinary team of gunnercooke lawyers including Dr Karsten Umnuss, Employment and Pensions Partner, Michael Dietz, Banking Partner, and Dr Christoph Dally, Partner focusing on competition and antitrust. The legal team is supplemented by a local law firm in Luxembourg.

Spokesperson from Formidum said: “Our expansion into Europe reflects Formidium’s long-term strategy of building a globally integrated fund services platform anchored in technology and regulatory depth. Liechtenstein and Luxembourg are strategically important jurisdictions, and these planned acquisitions strengthen our ability to support alternative asset managers with a unified operating framework across fund management, administration, compliance, and reporting.

We are pleased to be working with gunnercooke as we advance this next phase of our international growth.”

The transactions highlight Europe’s growing appeal for innovative fund structures and the increasing demand for flexible white-label solutions in the asset management sector.
