Ashridge scores 1,439% IRR on Marclay after four-month hold

The GP sold Marclay to US-based cybersecurity business BlueVoyant. According to Ashridge, Marclay received an unsolicited approach from BlueVoyant, which had learned of Marclay during a reference call for a prospective chairman. Marclay's management team will lead the resulting UK division.

Ashridge invested in Marclay in February this year, with the deal completing in March.
