Hg agrees sale of Quantios to Vista Equity Partners

Private equity firm Hg has agreed to sell its majority stake in trust and corporate services software provider Quantios to Vista Equity Partners, marking another successful exit for the technology-focused investor.

Financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed. The deal is expected to complete in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Hg first invested in TrustQuay in 2022 before combining the business with ViewPoint, which was owned by funds managed by EQT, in 2023 to create Quantios. Since then, the company has expanded into a global software platform serving nearly 700 organisations in the trust and corporate services sector through its Quantios Core and Klea product suites.

During Hg’s ownership, Quantios has focused heavily on embedding artificial intelligence into its software platform. Generative AI capabilities have been integrated into its core offering, while the company has also developed a suite of agentic AI tools designed to automate complex regulated workflows for customers.

The AI strategy was developed with support from Hg Catalyst, the firm’s dedicated AI engineering and incubation team, which helped launch Quantios’ first agentic AI solution earlier this year. Hg said the technology roadmap played a significant role in attracting buyer interest and supporting the company’s growth trajectory.

For Hg, the transaction is expected to generate an uplift of around 30% to the carrying value of its investment, according to the firm’s latest valuation. The sale also represents the latest in a series of portfolio exits completed in 2026, following disposals involving treasury management software provider GTreasury and healthcare imaging software business Intelerad.

Baird and Deutsche Bank acted as financial advisers to Hg on the transaction.
