Opera Boosts Assets to $61.5bn with Accuro Acquisition
Opera, the financial services group majority-owned by billionaire Stephen Lansdown, has acquired Accuro, a trust and private office company. This marks Opera's fourth acquisition in 2025 and increases its total assets under administration to $61.5bn.
Accuro, led by Group CEO Xavier Isaac since a 2017 management buy-out, brings $24.5bn in assets to Opera. Isaac expressed excitement about Opera's strategic backing. The acquisition expands Opera's international reach to seven jurisdictions and grows its team from 350 to 570 people.
Kim Sgarlata, Group CEO of Opera, praised Accuro's fit within Opera's portfolio. Stephen Lansdown, who co-founded Hargreaves Lansdown in 1981 and now operates his family office, Pula, supports the acquisition. Following regulatory approval, Accuro will operate under Opera.
The acquisition of Accuro by Opera not only strengthens Opera's portfolio but also expands its global presence and team. With regulatory approval, Accuro will join Opera, further solidifying its position in the private client and fiduciary businesses.
