Ocorian provides fund administration, capital markets, corporate, trust and regulatory compliance services across 20+ jurisdictions, managing over 15,000 entities with 1,800+ professionals.
Ocorian is a global provider of fund administration, capital markets, corporate services, trust and fiduciary services, and regulatory compliance solutions. Founded in 1971 in Jersey as Bedell Trust, the firm employs over 1,800 professionals across more than 20 jurisdictions and manages over 15,000 entities for clients worldwide. Its client base spans private equity, fund management, capital markets, cross-border corporate management, and private wealth.
For private equity managers, the fund administration capability is the most directly relevant: Ocorian provides administration services for funds including private equity vehicles, supported by corporate services for managing entities across borders and regulatory compliance services addressing complex requirements in multiple jurisdictions. Capital markets services and trust and fiduciary services round out the offering, the latter rooted in the firm's founding heritage.
Operating scale is a defining characteristic: more than 20 jurisdictions, over 15,000 entities under management, and a workforce exceeding 1,800. The firm states that many staff come from the industries they serve, bringing client-side experience, and that its approach favours practical solutions over purely theoretical advice. It also describes a balance between scale for complex mandates and a relationship-driven approach to sensitive financial matters.
