Alveo

Alveo is a leading financial services data company with an ambitious growth strategy.

INVESTMENT BACKGROUND

Founded in 1991, Alveo (formerly Asset Control) was one of the early entrants to the third-party Electronic Data Management market and has established a global position providing financial data management software to a range of large financial institutions. With headquarters in London, the company has offices in the US, Singapore and Netherlands.

The management team was keen to accelerate the company’s growth plans and began to look for an investment partner to take the business to the next level. In Sovereign they found what they were looking for.

Value creation to date

  • Chairman appointed - former President of Capital Markets at SunGard Data Systems - to support the growth strategy.

THE STORY SO FAR

Our investment in the business coincided with a number of industry trends that combined to encourage banks and other financial institutions to increasingly invest in data.

This has included pressure from regulators for transparency, a greater reliance on third parties for specialist technology and more demand than ever from clients to unlock the value in the data they hold.

Alveo has already started to see the results of their labours as new products have launched, for example, a cloud-based product called Alpha.

With Sovereign’s help and support, including the appointment of Chairman, Brian Traquair, the former President of Capital Markets at SunGard Data Systems, the company will develop further momentum in its pipeline as together we embark on an ambitious Buy & Build strategy.
