AnaCap buys Ellisphere

With Natixis, which managed the group since 2014, Ellisphere expanded its products and services, and looked to enlarge its client base. A new management team was also appointed under Natixis.

AnaCap will keep supporting the group's expansion within the credit management sector, funding new product lines aimed at SMEs. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. 

Financial services-focused GP AnaCap held a €850m final close for its third fund in early 2016, just shy of the €900m target reportedly set when it launched in 2014. In June last year, the GP also held a final close on €595m for its AnaCap Credit Opportunities III fund.

AnaCap has made several investments in the French financial sector – it notably acquired the French retail banking operations of Barclays at the end of 2016.
