RiskConcile, a Belgian provider of cloud-based regulatory reporting and risk calculation solutions for the European fund industry, announces the acquisition of UK-based fund fees and expense data provider Fitz Partners.
This transaction marks the first step in the international buy-and-build strategy of RiskConcile since partnering up with Main Capital (“Main”) in June 2024.
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in London (UK), Fitz Partners is a provider of proprietary fund fees and expense data for the European asset management industry. Its comprehensive databases and reporting solutions offer meticulously calculated and independently verified fee and expense breakdowns that enable asset managers to conduct precise cost reviews and make informed strategic decisions. Today, more than 65 of the largest global asset and fund management firms rely on Fitz Partners’ solutions. The company has strong coverage across the UK and cross-border fund markets and is expanding its fee data coverage and board reporting service to cover the local French fund market in the coming months.
As regulatory pressures intensify and transparency expectations rise across the European fund industry, asset managers are increasingly seeking efficient and reliable reporting solutions. High quality fund data has become a critical foundation for both compliance and competitive advantage, enabling deeper insights and faster responses to evolving investor and regulatory demands. RiskConcile and Fitz Partners are uniquely positioned to meet these challenges by delivering an integrated solution that combines proprietary fund data, advanced regulatory reporting and sophisticated risk calculation capabilities.
Jan De Spiegeleer, Co-Founder & CEO of RiskConcile, said, “We are delighted to welcome the Fitz Partners team to RiskConcile. Its proprietary fund fee database combined with its reporting expertise is a strong addition to our cloud-based risk and reporting platform. Together, we are uniquely positioned to help asset managers and fund management companies even better navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape with greater efficiency, insight and confidence.”
Hugues Gillibert, Founder & CEO of Fitz Partners, commented, “I am extremely pleased to have found a partner in RiskConcile that will allow Fitz Partners to continue its expansion while keeping the same culture of excellence and quality recognized across our industry. The synergies between our two firms are immense, and we are looking forward to providing even greater support and market intelligence solutions to our UK and cross-border clients. We are also expecting many more years of growth and success with a new focus on local fund domiciles.”
Jorn de Ruijter, Investment Director at Main Capital Partners and Chairman of the Board of Directors at RiskConcile, concluded, “The acquisition of Fitz Partners represents a major step towards building a pan European leader in regulatory technology for the fund industry and perfectly aligns with our strategy to build market leading software groups. Through this collaboration, we create a stronger and more comprehensive organization that is able to deliver greater value to asset managers and fund management companies. It also reinforces Main’s ability to source and execute cross border transactions in strategic markets such as the UK, where we see significant opportunities for continued growth.”
