Ocorian Appointed Administrator for world-first Gresham House fund

Ocorian, a market leader in asset servicing for private markets, is proud to support investment manager Gresham House which has become the first to be awarded Guernsey Natural Capital Fund status for its biodiversity creation strategy.

The designation of Gresham House fund marks a major global milestone in sustainable investment following the approval by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission.

Ocorian, which has a long-standing partnership with Gresham House as its administrator of choice in Guernsey, has been appointed administrator of the new fund.

Guernsey’s Natural Capital Fund regime is the world’s first regulated natural capital and biodiversity investment fund designation giving investors confidence that funds contribute to abating natural capital loss.

The Gresham House strategy invests in large-scale habitat creation and ecological restoration projects, commonly referred to as habitat banks, which support compliance with England’s 2024 biodiversity net gain regulations. The strategy forms part of Gresham House’s wider natural capital platform, which spans sustainable forestry, sustainable agriculture and nature-based solutions. The firm is ranked among the top 10 natural capital managers globally.

Mark Symons, Client Director at Ocorian said: " We are proud to support and work with Gresham House as its administrator of choice in Guernsey and congratulate them on becoming the first to receive Guernsey Natural Capital Fund designation.

“The designation recognises Gresham House’s long-standing commitment to investment in nature at scale and reflects Guernsey’s established reputation as a leading international centre for well-regulated sustainable investment.”
