Portfolio Analytics House Buys UBS Business

A business listed in the UK that provides portfolio analysis and asset price services has done a deal with UBS to buy one of the latter firm's businesses.
StatPro Group, the UK-quoted portfolio analysis and asset price
services business, has agreed to buy UBS Delta from UBS.
Financial terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed.
The acquisition means StatPro has grown its annualised recurring
revenue from less than £1 million ($1.24 million) in 1999 to
around £53 million, it said in a statement late last week. About
80 per cent of its revenues are earned outside the UK.
UBS Delta offers risk and performance analytics, a statement from
StatPro said. The deal will enable StatPro to extend services to
front-office asset managers; at present, it serves mid-office
clients.
The acquisition is phased over three to five years. StatPro will
incorporate UBS Delta into the StatPro Revolution product.
Throughout the transition, and until StatPro has fully integrated
UBS Delta’s functionality, UBS will continue to operate and
support UBS Delta for its clients.
StatPro’s cloud-based platform provides analysis of portfolio
performance, attribution, risk and compliance. Data coverage
includes more than 3.2 million securities such as equities,
bonds, mutual funds, FX rates, futures, options, OTCs and sector
classifications. The business covers most families of benchmarks
including MSCI, FTSE, Russell, NASDAQ and the open source Freedom
Index.
