Rebrand strengthens IQ-EQ’s U.S. presence and unites our fund administration services under the global IQ-EQ brand
IQ-EQ, an Astorg portfolio company, has announced the rebranding of South Watch LLC (“South Watch”), a boutique provider of fund administration, outsourced CFO support and tax preparation services which it acquired in May 2025. The firm provides services to hedge fund managers in the United States and the Cayman Islands. As IQ-EQ, clients can expect the same great service they’ve enjoyed in the past but now delivered by one fully integrated IQ-EQ team with even more resources at their disposal.
Commenting on the rebrand Matt Okolita, Regional CEO, the Americas, said: “We acquired the South Watch business just four months ago so to be able to rebrand the business at this point is a huge testament to how the teams have come together so quickly as one integrated IQ-EQ team. Congratulations and a big thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Other than a new name and an even stronger partnership made possible by our fully integrated and expert team there’s no impact to our clients.”
