Grant Thornton advises instiHub Analytics Ltd

Founded in 2014 by Andreas Pfunder, instiHub is a specialist provider of bespoke data and analytics solutions to the asset management industry, allowing buy and sell side to derive actionable commercial insights.

After being introduced to management in 2021, our corporate finance team advised the shareholders on the 100% sale of the business.

The transaction represents another successful financial services data deal, following the successful sale of FundsLibrary for Hargreaves Lansdown to Broadridge.

We ran a very focussed and targeted sale process with prequalified strategic acquirers who could deliver both the right route to value and the ability to leverage the business and market opportunity.

We secured a number of strong offers for the business through off-market discussions, and then guided the management team through due diligence and legal negotiations, delivering the right partner for the founders and management team at a strategic value for all shareholders.
