The Financial Times Group has announced the acquisition of Invisso, an organiser of events for the structured finance, bond and private credit markets, from Delinian. The acquisition will expand FT Live’s premium events offering in the US and Europe.
FT Group says Invisso’s flagship conferences, including Global ABS, ABS East, The Covered Bond Congress, The Central & Eastern European Forum, and The Global Borrowers and Bond Investors Forum, gather around 16,000 attendees each year for networking, intelligence gathering, and deal-making opportunities within the global financial sector.
“Capital markets power the global economy, enabling growth and financing innovation, and creating opportunities for businesses and communities alike. We're thrilled to welcome the Invisso team and their world-class capital market conferences into the FT Live portfolio. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences for our audiences while expanding our premium event offering worldwide,” said Orson Francescone, managing director of FT Live.
Andrew Pinder, group CEO at Delinian, added: “We are delighted to have divested Invisso to the FT Group. This is testament to Invisso’s rich heritage, exceptional market reputation, strong financial performance and the value it brings to its customers. We believe that joining FT Live, the FT Group’s highly-regarded global events business, will enhance the reputation of these market-leading events and create an exceptional platform for dealmaking into the future.”
The transaction is expected to complete at the end of March.
