On Thursday 3 April 2025, AnaCap announced the appointment of Johan van den Berg as Group CEO of Fiduciaire Jean-Marc Faber (FJMF) in Luxembourg.

This appointment follows the recent announcement that AnaCap, a London-based private equity (PE) specialist, had acquired a majority stake in FJMF, a Luxembourg-based independent provider of trust, fund, corporate, accounting, tax and payroll services.

According to the FJMF and AnaCap press release, Johan van den Berg brings over 20 years of extensive experience in financial services to FJMF and will lead the group into its “ambitious next stage” of corporate development. Throughout his career, he held senior leadership roles, serving as the Global Head of Business Development and as the Managing Director of Trustmoore in Luxembourg for over twelve years. “During his tenure, he built the company from the ground up, transforming it into a leading corporate service provider and fund administrator regulated by the CSSF,” FJMF and AnaCap shared in their statement.

Johan van den Berg will work closely with Jean-Marc Faber, Christophe Mouton, Daniel Galhano and the rest of the management team at FJMF to deliver the strategic roadmap in terms of organic growth and M&A ambitions.

"I’m excited to start this new chapter and partner with AnaCap and the entire FJMF team. I chose this project because I strongly believe in AnaCap’s vision: the fiduciary industry is starting a deep consolidation. By building on Jean-Marc’s strong legacy, our aim is to combine internal and external growth to become a leading player in the corporate, fund and trust services sector," said Johan van den Berg.

"We are delighted to welcome Johan as Group CEO and look forward to working closely with him. Very early on, it was clear that Johan shared our ambitions and we are convinced he will be a key complementary addition to the existing management team. He brings a wealth of experience across both corporate and fund services and will be instrumental in enabling FJMF [to] grow further through organic and M&A initiatives," added Director at AnaCap, Steven Gringoire.

Jean-Marc Faber, founder and Managing Partner at FJMF, concluded: "We are pleased to be working with Johan and are very excited by what lays ahead of us for this new chapter. Johan’s experience and shared ambitions convinced us that he is the right person to support us in our growth journey. We have very high ambitions for the company as we look to continue expanding the value proposition for our clients and become a trusted consolidator in the corporate, fund and trust services sector."

Founded in 1995 by Jean-Marc Faber, FJMF is a member of the Ordre des Experts-Comptables (OEC) and employs approximately 70 people, led by its three partners Jean-Marc Faber, Christophe Mouton and Daniel Galhano. The company has described itself as a "one-stop-shop" provider for more than 1,800 clients, mostly institutional fund customers and patrimonial clients.
