LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2026--
Hg, the leading investor in European and transatlantic software and
services businesses, today announced that it has agreed the sale of its
majority shareholding in Quantios, a leading provider of SaaS solutions
to the global trust and corporate services industry, to Vista Equity
Partners.
Hg first invested in the business in 2022, then TrustQuay, and in 2023
merged it with ViewPoint (owned by funds managed by EQT, a global
private markets firm) to create Quantios - a global champion for the
trust and corporate services industry. Over the period of Hg's ownership,
the business has grown into a global platform partnering with close to
700 organisations worldwide, underpinned by its flagship Quantios Core
and Klea solutions.
Central to the value created under Hg's ownership has been Quantios's
product-led AI strategy. Generative AI is now embedded natively within
Quantios Core and delivered to customers as standard, while a separately
priced agentic AI layer automates higher-complexity regulated workflows
for clients, with a suite of specialised agents available today and a
larger identified pipeline in development.
This roadmap was developed with support from Hg Catalyst, a dedicated AI
incubator and engineering team, which launched the business's first
agentic solution in March 2026. The roadmap has since become central to
the company's value proposition and was a key driver for
technology-focused buyer interest and for future growth of the business.
Chris Fielding, Partner, and Conor Stewart, Principal at Hg, said:
"Quantios is a high-quality business serving a mission-critical sector,
deeply embedded in its customers' workflows and with a genuine technical
edge in AI. We're proud of what's been built over the last few years:
having strengthened the management team alongside Guy Harrison,
supported the merger of two strong businesses into a single global
champion and moved the company decisively into agentic AI, well ahead of
much of the sector. We believe Vista is an outstanding partner, with
their own sophisticated AI capabilities to take Quantios into its next
phase of product innovation and growth."
Guy Harrison, CEO of Quantios, said: "Since partnering with Hg and EQT,
we've transformed two specialist software businesses into a scaled,
integrated platform serving hundreds of customers across the trust and
corporate services sector. We've expanded internationally, accelerated
product development and helped our customers navigate two of the biggest
technology shifts our industry has seen: first the move to cloud, and
now agentic. I'm incredibly proud of what the team has achieved and
grateful to Hg and EQT for their support and partnership. We've built a
fantastic business and I'm excited about the next phase of growth
alongside Vista."
The sale of Quantios will see a c.30% uplift to Hg's latest book value
and is the latest in a series of cash-back events generated by Hg, with
three full or partial exits completed since early 2026, reflecting
continued investor appetite for high-quality, mission-critical
technology businesses that generate resilient, growing cash flows.
Alongside GTreasury (acquired by Ripple) and Intelerad (acquired by GE
HealthCare), Quantios also demonstrates how significant upfront
investment in a company's AI product suite can drive strong buyer
interest. This reflects the value of Hg's long-standing approach to AI
transformation and product-led innovation across its portfolio.
The transaction is subject to customary conditions and approvals and is
expected to be completed in Q3 2026. Baird and Deutsche Bank acted as
sellside advisors to Hg.
