B&C assists £626m acquisition of Alpha FMC by Bridgepoint

24/07/2024

We're delighted to have helped with the £626m acquisition of Alpha Financial Markets Consulting plc by private equity giant Bridgepoint.

Alpha FMC is a leading global provider of specialist consultancy services to the financial services industry. The offer came after reports emerged in May that both Bridgepoint and rival PE investor Cinven had approached the company.

In its deal announcement, Alpha FMC said that as a private company, Bridgepoint believed it would be able to take a longer-term view, as well as allowing it to use Bridgepoint’s ‘firepower’ to execute targeted M&A.

Key Fry, chair of Alpha FMC, said: “Since its AIM admission in 2017, Alpha FMC has successfully developed into a leading global consultancy to the financial services industry and delivered strong growth in revenues and profits through a proven strategy of deepening client relationships, broadening the client offering and geographic expansion. Whilst Alpha FMC is well-positioned to make continued progress, the Alpha FMC independent directors believe that the acquisition recognises the quality and value of the business and represents an opportunity for Alpha FMC shareholders to realise their entire investment, in cash, at an attractive premium.”
