Rothschild & Co.'s Five Arrows Acquires Rimes: A Strategic MoveRothschild & Co.'s alternative assets unit, Five Arrows, recently made a strategic acquisition by purchasing Rimes from Swedish investment firm EQT. Rimes, a leading provider of enterprise data management and investment intelligence solutions, has been a significant player in the investment industry, empowering asset managers to efficiently handle market data.
The deal marks a significant milestone in Rimes' journey, which has been bolstered by EQT's support since 2020. Under EQT's ownership, Rimes experienced notable growth, expanding its technology offerings and acquiring Matrix IDM, an Australian investment data management platform. Additionally, Rimes ventured into AI with the establishment of a dedicated product division last year.
Five Arrows' decision to acquire Rimes underscores its commitment to the alternative assets space. With global assets under management exceeding €26 billion, Five Arrows is well-positioned to leverage its long-term fund FALT and principal investments division FAPI to facilitate the acquisition. The transaction, expected to close in the coming months pending regulatory approval, holds promise for both parties.
Brad Hunt, CEO of Rimes, expressed optimism about the acquisition, emphasizing its potential to propel Rimes' growth trajectory. Meanwhile, FAPI partners Vivek Kumar and Sacha Oshry highlighted Five Arrows' intention to unlock new avenues of growth for Rimes.
As the transaction unfolds, industry observers eagerly anticipate how Five Arrows' strategic vision will shape Rimes' future. The move underscores the evolving landscape of data management and investment intelligence, signaling potential shifts in the competitive dynamics within the sector.
In conclusion, Five Arrows' acquisition of Rimes marks a pivotal moment for both companies, poised to catalyze growth and innovation in the ever-evolving realm of enterprise data management and investment solutions.
