Accelex Announces $15M Series A Funding Round Led by FactSet; Firms Set to Automate Critical Private Markets Workflows for Investors

LONDON, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelex, a leading provider of AI automation for private markets data acquisition, reporting and analytics, announced today it has closed a $15 million Series A funding round led by FactSet, a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, with participation from existing investors Illuminate Financial, AlbionVC, SixThirty Ventures and Expon Capital.

 

The capital infusion comes at a time of rapid growth for Accelex, allowing the firm to further expand operations, enhance product capabilities, and deliver exceptional client success. This transaction strengthens the relationship between the two firms, with Accelex's technology already a key enabler in FactSet's private markets growth strategy.

Transparency is vital for investors. However, unlike traditional assets, investments in private markets are plagued by unstructured content, often requiring expensive and error-prone manual processing. Accelex is transforming the way investors tackle these challenges by leveraging market-leading data science to automate the end-to-end workflows from document acquisition and data extraction to reporting and analytics. FactSet and Accelex are bringing innovation to the alternative assets industry, ultimately providing clients with solutions to better understand the drivers of investment performance.

"Data-driven decision-making is critical for our clients, particularly as their portfolios increase in exposure to private capital, where the acquisition, aggregation, and analysis of investment data has been a challenge," said Rob Robie, Executive Vice President, Head of Institutional Buyside at FactSet.  "We are thrilled to partner with Accelex on this journey to bring innovative solutions to private markets, united by our shared commitment to empowering the alternative investment community with superior data and analytics, enabling better investment outcomes."

"This partnership will solidify our position as a leader in the alternative investment data management and analytics space," added Michael Aldridge, President at Accelex. "Today we serve some of the world's largest and most sophisticated investors, and their service providers, delivering better data, faster while reducing their operational burden."

"We are delighted with the completion of this latest financing round with FactSet and the continued support from our financial partners," remarked Franck Vialaron, Chief Executive at Accelex. "This further validates the Accelex team, our approach to innovation, and the unique value proposition we offer our private markets clients."

This funding comes at an exciting time for Accelex. During the past 24 months the firm has embarked on a phenomenal growth trajectory, adding a large number of top-tier asset owners and allocators along with asset servicers and service providers as clients. These firms now represent a combined asset base of over $1.5 trillion, invested in more than 13,000 private market funds across 4,000 asset managers.

Zelig Capital Partners acted as financial advisor and Goodwin Procter LLP acted as legal advisor to Accelex. Mills & Reeve LLP acted as legal advisor to FactSet.
