Nordic Capital has signed an agreement to sell MFEX, a global independent fund distributor, to Euroclear. During Nordic Capital’s ownership, MFEX has successfully repositioned itself from a Nordic player to a pan-European leader with an emerging global presence.
The two companies are complementary and will build on each other’s strengths. The combination of MFEX’s innovative distribution platform with Euroclear’s FundSettle post-trade operations expertise will create a unique and compelling offering for fund distributors and fund management companies globally.
“MFEX is a true leader in its field. Since Nordic Capital became a majority owner in 2018, in partnership with the founders, MFEX has experienced continued strong organic growth and executed a series of strategic, value accretive acquisitions,” says David Samuelson, board member of MFEX and Principal, Nordic Capital Advisors.
Lieve Mostrey, Chief Executive Officer of Euroclear, commented: “We are delighted to sign this agreement to acquire MFEX Group. ”
