Last night, Equistone was proud to receive the UK Upper-Mid Cap Deal of the Year award for Acuity Knowledge Partners at the 23rd annual Real Deals Private Equity Awards. We are delighted that our colleagues, Tim Swales, Richard Briault, Will Copeland and Taha Hasan have been recognised for the successful carve-out and investment journey alongside the management team at Acuity Knowledge Partners. Equistone sold a majority stake in Acuity Knowledge Partners to Permira in April 2023, with the transaction representing the firm’s largest-ever capital gain on a single investment. Equistone remain an enthusiastic shareholder in Acuity Knowledge Partners alongside Permira and the management team, led by Robert King. “Acuity has performed exceptionally well in its four years of operating as an independent business, growing both its client base and its team of industry specialists substantially. This is testament to the high-quality customer proposition and extensive service offering it provides to financial institutions, at a time when structural and technological changes within the industry are fuelling demand for greater and more efficient research and analysis. We see considerable headroom for further growth and are excited to continue on the journey with Acuity.” Tim Swales, Partner, and Richard Briault, Director, Equistone.
