StatPro has acquired Investor Analytics (IA), a US-based provider of cloud-based risk analytics solutions to hedge funds and asset managers, for up to $16m. IA’s Risk Factor and Monte Carlo models will enable StatPro to provide a broader set of risk models to its customers. The deal boosts the group’s cloud-based annualised recurring revenue run rate to 35% of the total revenue book, up from 27%, and strengthens the group presence in the important North American market (IA’s HQ is in New York). We continue to believe there is significant upside in the shares, given the lofty multiples of StatPro’s US-based financial software peers and SaaS companies.
