Clifford Chance advises on sale of Zenith Group by Five V Capital and other shareholders to FE fundinfo

Leading international law firm Clifford Chance has advised on the sale of Zenith Group by Australian private equity fund manager Five V Capital and other shareholders to FE fundinfo, a portfolio company of global private equity firm Hg Capital.

Zenith Group is a leading investment research, funds ratings, managed accounts and consulting services provider in Asia Pacific. FE fundinfo is an independent fund data and technology provider to European asset managers and distributors. The transaction brings together two of the leading fund data and research providers in Europe and Asia Pacific with a complementary set of asset manager and adviser-focused services.

Partner Jacob Kahwaji led the transaction, with support from senior associates Marcus Berghouse and Alice Bradshaw.

Jacob said, "It has been a pleasure working alongside Five V Capital and the Zenith management team to bring this transaction to fruition. We have been on the journey with Zenith, having previously advised on Five V Capital's initial investment in Zenith and supported the business since then. We congratulate the team on a fantastic result".
