The Bregal Unter\u00adneh\u00admer\u00adka\u00adpi\u00adtal Fonds (\u201cBU Funds\u201d), the previous majo\u00adrity share\u00adhol\u00adder since March 2021, as well as the manage\u00adment team of ACTICO Group will remain invol\u00adved via a reverse invest\u00adment and will conti\u00adnue to closely support the expan\u00adsion of the market posi\u00adtion of the leading provi\u00adder of soft\u00adware solu\u00adti\u00adons for regu\u00adla\u00adtory compli\u00adance and risk manage\u00adment in the long term. The plan is to acce\u00adle\u00adrate inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal growth and conti\u00adnuously expand the product range both orga\u00adni\u00adcally and through acquisitions. <\/p>\n
ACTICO Group, with head\u00adquar\u00adters in Fried\u00adrichs\u00adha\u00adfen and four other loca\u00adti\u00adons, specia\u00adli\u00adzes in the intel\u00adli\u00adgent auto\u00adma\u00adtion of compli\u00adance, asset manage\u00adment, regu\u00adla\u00adtory report\u00ading and credit proces\u00adses for finan\u00adcial insti\u00adtu\u00adti\u00adons world\u00adwide. The company stands for modern tech\u00adno\u00adlogy solu\u00adti\u00adons that support finan\u00adcial insti\u00adtu\u00adti\u00adons in comply\u00ading with growing regu\u00adla\u00adtory requi\u00adre\u00adments and effec\u00adtive risk manage\u00adment. ACTICO was foun\u00added in 1997 and acqui\u00adred by a German indus\u00adtrial group in 2008; in 2015, the manage\u00adment team sepa\u00adra\u00adted the company from the parent company as part of a carve-out. As part of a struc\u00adtu\u00adred busi\u00adness succes\u00adsion, the company part\u00adne\u00adred with the BU funds in 2021 to realize its growth plans and vision with a well-funded and soft\u00adware-expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced new majo\u00adrity shareholder. <\/p>\n
In close part\u00adner\u00adship, the orga\u00adniza\u00adtion and proces\u00adses were expan\u00added in the follo\u00adwing years and further profes\u00adsio\u00adna\u00adli\u00adzed for the strong growth ahead. Among other things, the company\u2019s manage\u00adment was put on a broa\u00adder footing, sales struc\u00adtures were expan\u00added and the IT infra\u00adstruc\u00adture was streng\u00adthe\u00adned. At the same time, signi\u00adfi\u00adcant invest\u00adments were made on the product side in areas such as cloud tech\u00adno\u00adlogy, inte\u00adgrabi\u00adlity, machine lear\u00adning and AI capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties. In parti\u00adcu\u00adlar, the new deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment of a credit risk plat\u00adform and the trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion of the ACTICO Compli\u00adance Suite into a cloud-native solu\u00adtion also gene\u00adra\u00adted strong inte\u00adrest outside the previous Euro\u00adpean core market. In 2022, ACTICO Group acqui\u00adred Fact Infor\u00adma\u00adti\u00adons\u00adsys\u00adteme und Consul\u00adting, a company specia\u00adli\u00adzing in the digi\u00adta\u00adliza\u00adtion of invest\u00adment manage\u00adment. The merger led to a signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly broa\u00adder custo\u00admer base in the finan\u00adcial sector, parti\u00adcu\u00adlarly in the areas of fund compa\u00adnies and insu\u00adr\u00aders. In the course of the part\u00adner\u00adship with BU, ACTICO Group was thus able to record strong growth in its core market of Europe as well as strong momen\u00adtum with new custo\u00admers in America and Asia, more than doubling its turno\u00adver. The Group is one of the market leaders in the DACH region and today serves more than 300 well-known compa\u00adnies in the finan\u00adcial sector worldwide. <\/p>\n
