Highvern / Permian
Highvern, founded in 2016, is a leading provider of bespoke fund administration and private capital services across the UK, Channel Islands, Ireland, and Cayman. The company is internationally recognised for its deep commitment to service quality, compliance, and regulatory excellence. Permian, established in 2008, is the leading Nordic fund administrator with offices in Oslo and Stockholm. Renowned for its client-focused approach and superior service quality, Permian delivers comprehensive support across fund accounting, tax, compliance, risk, and reporting for alternative investment funds.
In September 2024, Jacobs Capital acquired Permian. In June 2025, Highvern and Permian were merged to create the new standard in service-quality led international fund and private capital services.
Exceeding together, the Group continues to prioritise service excellence and invest in technology to drive client outcomes. With over 300 professionals across seven jurisdictions and a presence in leading fund administration hubs, we are optimally positioned to benefit from strong structural tailwinds – including growing allocations to alternative assets, increasing regulation and the continued shift toward outsourcing.
“Jacobs Capital have shown themselves throughout to be a highly respectful investor and yet also to be proactive and responsive. Their deep industry knowledge lends insight, vision and acumen to our discussions, which plays positively to our strategic alignment which is enhanced by Jacobs’ network and reach right across the field. All this has seen us build a hugely positive relationship very quickly, one in which each party is acknowledged and trusted for the expertise it brings.”

CEO of Highvern / Permian.
