Euroclear Acquires 49% Inversis, successfully finalizing the acquisition from Banca March after securing all necessary regulatory approvals. The company will now proceed with a phased acquisition of the remaining 51%, ensuring a seamless transition for Inversis’ employees, clients, and partners.
This strategic move aligns with Euroclear’s broader vision to enhance its Euroclear FundsPlace offering and expand its footprint in Southern Europe. Furthermore, established in 2001 and headquartered in Madrid, Inversis is a key provider of investment technology solutions, offering fund platform services, securities outsourcing, intermediation, and fund depository solutions.
Banca March has been its primary shareholder. Inversis demonstrated strong financial performance in 2024, reporting a net profit of €26 million, reflecting a 16% increase from the previous year. Its revenue grew by 21% to €105 million, while EBITDA surged by 29% to €46 million.
Furthermore, the company manages €125 billion in assets under custody as of December 2024. Euroclear’s CEO, Valérie Urbain, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, emphasizing that Inversis’ clients will gain access to Euroclear’s global expertise and extensive financial market infrastructure. Moreover, “She highlighted Spain as a key growth market and reaffirmed Euroclear’s commitment to supporting Inversis in its next phase of development.”
José Luis Acea, CEO of Banca March, underscored the strategic rationale behind the deal. “He noted that Banca March, as Inversis’ sole shareholder since 2013, has steered the company’s growth in alignment with the group’s investment philosophy. He emphasized that Euroclear’s acquisition meets three essential criteria: maintaining high-quality service, ensuring a strong future for Inversis and its employees, and recognizing the firm’s true market value.
Alberto del Cid, CEO of Inversis, welcomed the move, stating, “With this operation, Inversis joins Euroclear’s ecosystem and strengthens its market position by increasing its international footprint. The investment in Inversis will enhance its large customer business and expand its model to other markets. Inversis’ clients will benefit from a reinforced value proposition across all business lines.”
