“We agree on the fundamental importance of a personal, director-led approach to client service and Oak made the continued involvement of IAG’s directors a condition of the deal.

“We have made a long-term commitment by becoming shareholders in Oak, ensuring the continuity of all aspects of client service delivery, so IAG’s existing clients can be sure that it will be business as usual.”

Oak CEO Stuart Platt-Ransom said: “The addition of IAG to Oak is an integral step in our strategy of developing a business that can offer a full range of administration services internationally.”

Oak was formed through the consolidation of Oak Trust Group, Consortia Partnership and Kreston IOM.

The business has a presence in the Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, Malta and Mauritius.

Announcement of the deal comes a day after Butterfield Bank (Guernsey) agreed to buy ABN AMRO Channel Islands business.
