United States financial & healthcare software & services provider SS&C Technologies ($20 billion market value) has announced to buy funds network & technology provider Calastone for $1 billion (£766 million), and will merge into SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions Division. Calastone was founded in 2007, and acquired (majority stake) by Carlyle Group in 2020. SS&C Technologies was founded in 1986 by William Stone. Announcement (21/7/25): “Calastone, the largest global funds network and technology solutions provider to the wealth and asset management industry, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“SS&C” or Group: Nasdaq: SSNC), a global leader in investment and financial services software and solutions, in a transaction valued at approximately £766 million (which is approximately US $1.03 billion). The acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in Q4 2025 … … The transaction represents a significant milestone for Calastone, and a strong endorsement of the company’s network, technology and client relationships built by the team over the past 17 years. Upon completion, Calastone will operate as part of SS&C’s Global Investor & Distribution Solutions division, enabling the combined group to further scale innovation, service delivery, and operational efficiency across the global wealth and asset management ecosystem. Founded in 2007, Calastone operates the world’s largest transaction network for investment funds, connecting over 4,500 financial organisations across 57 markets. The firm’s technology, products and infrastructure have transformed how firms automate and scale fund operations, creating efficiencies across trading, settlement, and distribution. Calastone’s global fund network and technology complement SS&C’s leadership in fund administration, transfer agency services, AI and intelligent automation. By combining capabilities, the two companies will deliver a unified, real-time operating platform to reduce cost, complexity, and operational risk across the global fund ecosystem as well as shaping distribution. This strategic alignment enables enhanced distribution, investor servicing, and operational scalability – empowering asset and wealth managers to innovate, diversify products, and deliver better outcomes for investors worldwide. The transaction follows Calastone’s successful partnership with global investment firm The Carlyle Group, who acquired a majority stake in Calastone in 2020. Since then, Calastone has delivered material growth and strategic diversification by expanding its international footprint, investing in and enhancing its product suite to address ETFs and digital investments through tokenisation.”
