The combined business creates a powerhouse of over 9,000 professionals in 50+ jurisdictions. This will enable clients to navigate the increasing complexities of establishing, managing, operating, and growing their business around the world.

Simon Webster, who joined in November 2022 as CEO, will be CEO of the combined business. “This is an exciting day for both Vistra and Tricor colleagues and clients and is a significant milestone in the growth strategy of both organisations”, said Simon.

“We have an extraordinary future ahead of us as we create a new purpose-led company and shape the future of our industry. As we bring together the strengths and valued heritage of both Tricor and Vistra, I look forward to what we can achieve together – to deliver a consistent and frictionless client experience across the investment execution lifecycle”, said Simon.

Kim Jenkins, Tricor’s Group CEO, has been appointed as the Chief Operating Officer of the combined business. “We are excited to join forces with Vistra, creating synergy for continued growth in the marketplace and to become the partner of choice for clients”, shared Kim.

Although Tricor and Vistra are now legally one company, there are no immediate changes for clients. The business will begin to operate as one unified brand in early 2024.

The merged entity, headquartered in Hong Kong, continues to be owned by BPEA EQT, the Asian private equity arm of EQT.
