Harneys Fiduciary rebrands as Ascentium

A New Name. The Same Trusted Team. A Strong Global Platform.

Harneys Fiduciary (the “Company”) has officially rebranded to Ascentium, marking a significant milestone in a journey that was first announced in August 2023. The rebrand reflects the Company’s cross-border service capabilities and long-term commitment to clients.

With the same team and uninterrupted service delivery, Ascentium is positioned around a core proposition of multi-jurisdictional expertise combined with local execution. They support corporate and institutional clients as well as high-net-worth individuals with systematic, platform-enabled solutions, including corporate administration as well as fund and fiduciary solutions, in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and supervisory requirements. Clients continue to benefit from the strategic alliance partnership with Harneys law firm.

Harneys Fiduciary services are now offered through Ascentium’s fiduciary, fund, and private client business lines. In addition, clients have access to other Ascentium platform services, such as HR & payroll, business intelligence, advisory, risk assurance & audit services — all under one roof. 

Lennard Yong, Founding Management and Group CEO of Ascentium said, “Today signals an important milestone for the Ascentium Group with the establishment of three distinct divisions focused on accelerating market growth across fiduciary, funds and private client services. We are delighted with the acquisition of Harneys Fiduciary over two years ago, which served as the initial catalyst and foundation for continued expansion – both organically and through targeted acquisitions. Building on this momentum, we have since strengthened our presence with the addition of Clara in ADGM and Marbury in Hong Kong.”

Backed by a platform of over 2,900 professionals across 58 cities in 27 markets serving over 65,000 active clients, the Company has expanded their jurisdictional reach and service offering while preserving the specialist offshore expertise their clients have relied on for over 50 years.

Clients will also benefit from Ascentium's technology-enabled solutions, driving greater agility, flexibility, and efficiency, helping to navigate complex global environments.

Ross Munro, Chief Executive Officer of Ascentium Fiduciary, Fund, and Private Client (formerly CEO of Harneys Fiduciary) commented: “This rebrand is more than a name change; it is a continuation and strengthening of our long-term commitment to clients. As cross-border complexity grows, clients increasingly require governance and operational support that is practical, sustainable, and implementable. Building on more than five decades of trusted service, our global teams will continue to deliver seamless, integrated solutions, combining expert guidance and jurisdictional insight that clients have come to rely on.”
