Highvern Unifies Four Businesses Under One Brand

The businesses that now operate under the Highvern name were established in different markets. Guernsey-based Oak Funds Services was founded in 2000, while Permian began in Oslo in 2008 and built a presence in Nordic fund administration. Luxembourg’s PANDOO, formed in 2009, specialises in fund and corporate services.

Highvern’s roots in Jersey date to 1969. After almost three decades as part of Coutts, its private wealth business became independent through a management buyout in 2016. It relaunched as Highvern and later expanded into fund services.

“Each business has built strong reputations and trusted client relationships in their own markets. Together, we can now offer clients the reach of an international group with the personal service of a specialist,” said Caroline Connellan, the group’s chief executive.

Highvern’s staff are based in Jersey, Norway, Sweden, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, the UK and Ireland, with Luxembourg to follow. The firm serves alternative fund managers, family offices, private clients and their advisers, as well as international businesses.
