Montagu to acquire ISI from Citic

The firm is currently investing from its sixth-generation fund, which is said to have been closed on €3.5bn in Q2 of 2020; however, the firm has declined to comment on this.

The vendors of the business are Citic Capital and Caixin Global. The management team will continue to be led by its CEO Aloisio Parente.

Completion of the sale is expected next month, subject to customary closing requirements.

Citic Capital Partners and Caixin acquired the two businesses from Euromoney for $180m and formed ISI in 2018.

Company
ISI is a provider of macroeconomic, business and industry intelligence on global emerging markets. It operates a subscription model. The company was founded in 1992, employs around 500 people and is based in London.
