The firm, which oversees $15.8bn in assets, also provides a solution that facilitates the creation and administration of IDFs.
IDFs allow alternative investment managers to offer institutions, family offices, and high-net-worth (HNW) individuals a tax efficient vehicle to invest the long-term capital allocated through life insurance policies into alternative assets.
The deal is in line with JTC’s strategy to strengthen its presence in the US. The firm has strengthened its footprint in the country through the acquisition of NES Financial last year and Segue Partners earlier this year.
The company stated that the latest deal would make the US its second-largest jurisdiction with over $35m in revenues.
