The acquisition of Aqua represents the natural next step in our relationship with Katherine and the team at Boston. This is a strategic acquisition which we helped originate and deliver, using our deep relationships across the Jersey market alongside our clear understanding of the cultures of both the Boston and Aqua businesses, to deliver a fantastic deal for both sides. We continue to be the leading advisor in the TCSP sector and look forward to working with the Boston team on further transactions in the future.
Advising Boston MFO on its acquisition of Aqua Group Limited
2 May 2025
Our Mergers & acquisitions (M&A) team is delighted to have acted as corporate finance adviser to Boston MFO on its acquisition of Aqua Group Limited.
We have worked with Boston MFO and its management team over the last six years as it has transitioned from being owned by a single family office to being owned by the management team, backed by Rockpool and subsequently Horizon Capital in 2022.
Since then, the M&A team has identified several potential acquisition targets which aligned with Boston MFO’s strategic goals as it continues its buy-and-build under Horizon Capital.
Aqua Group was established in 2012 with the aim of helping families and their businesses achieve their financial expectations through excellent, consistent client service and the application of technical and strategic approaches to their objectives. This latest transaction significantly broadens Boston’s jurisdictional footprint, adding presence in Jersey and the UK.
The support we received from Mazars during this transaction was key as they played a pivotal role in orchestrating the deal, not only at the outset but during and then through to completion.
