Clearwater Analytics to Acquire Enfusion

Dear Client,

I am excited to share that Clearwater Analytics has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Enfusion for $1.5 billion in cash and stock. Enfusion has built an industry leading SaaS platform that is focused on asset managers and hedge funds. They have outstanding capabilities in IBOR, portfolio management, pre-trade compliance, and order management. While we at Clearwater started in the middle office, they began their journey in the front office. That’s why this combination is exciting and very complementary.

Many of you have often talked to us about building a true front-to-back solution. While we have continued to invest heavily in new product development and innovation, building functionality that operates at scale takes time. We have consistently resisted the temptation to acquire legacy software to complete a full front-to-back solution. Enfusion is unique in this respect—they use a similar cloud-native technology stack and share our strong focus on R&D and client satisfaction.

Finally, Enfusion continues to grow very nicely, operates at scale with expected EOY 2024 Annual Recurring Revenue of between $210 to $211 million, is very global with the international markets contributing roughly 38% of its revenue, is solidly profitable and generates healthy cash flow.


What this means for you:

The acquisition of Enfusion will bring together Clearwater’s comprehensive accounting, analytics and reporting platform with an industry leading order, execution, and portfolio management solution creating a fully cloud-native, single instance, multi-tenant front-to-back platform – the first of its kind.

A Seamless Front-to-Back Platform: Enfusion’s industry-leading front-office capabilities—including IBOR, portfolio, and order management—combined with Clearwater’s middle and back-office expertise are expected to create a unified platform for investment management. By combining the intellectual property and engineering talent of both companies on the mission of creating this platform, we expect to make accelerated progress towards building this platform.

Enhanced Capabilities through Radical Simplification: Integrating Enfusion’s portfolio management and order execution tools with Clearwater’s accounting, compliance, risk analytics, and reporting solutions is anticipated to eliminate unnecessary and error prone data handoffs between the front, middle and back office, reduce reconciliation errors, unlock cutting-edge analytics, and deliver comprehensive solutions across strategies, asset classes, and geographies.

Continuity and Commitment to Excellence: The exceptional service, support, and technology you rely on today will remain unchanged. You’ll continue to work with your established team while gaining access to new capabilities in the future.

Open Architecture Commitment: While we will aim to offer a fully integrated solution, Clearwater remains committed to flexibility and interoperability, empowering you to integrate with your preferred systems and tools.

Continued Investment in Clearwater Products: We remain fully committed to our strategic investments in our existing products including Risk, Performance, Alternatives, and global Regulatory Reporting. This is possible due to our strong financial profile that includes a sustained investment in operations and R&D to drive innovation.

Expanded Global Footprint: Enfusion’s strong international presence, with 38% of its revenue generated in Europe and Asia, will strengthen Clearwater’s ability to provide more localized support for our international clients.

This is an exciting opportunity, and we have strong conviction that this combination will allow the teams at Clearwater and Enfusion to deliver an industry-leading solution for our clients.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Enfusion shareholders and the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Once it has been finalized, we will provide additional updates, including a roadmap. In the meantime, we remain committed to being your trusted partner, focused on helping you achieve greater efficiency, transparency, and growth.

Thank you for your continued trust in Clearwater Analytics.

Warm regards,

Subject: Exciting News: Clearwater Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Enfusion

Dear Team,

I am very excited to share that Clearwater Analytics has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Enfusion for $1.5 billion in cash and stock. This is a truly transformative deal and has been enabled by the work all of us have done over the past years.

Working as a team, we have grown the company very consistently at a very high 20%+ rate across industries, market segments and geographies. The operations team continues to improve unit economics while also improving employee satisfaction and client satisfaction – that’s amazing. The engineering and product team continues to onboard clients successfully and deliver innovative solutions to the market. And finally, our enabling functions are second to none.

All of that has earned us the trust of our customers and our shareholders. That allows us to make a strategic acquisition of this magnitude.

Enfusion has, much like Clearwater, built an industry-leading cloud-native SaaS platform that is focused on asset managers and hedge funds. They have outstanding capabilities in IBOR, portfolio management, pre-trade compliance, and order management. Enfusion began its journey from the front office, while we at Clearwater started from the middle office.

That’s why this combination is exciting and very complementary.

I am confident that working together, we can build a truly transformative front-to-back platform for the entire industry: a platform that is built entirely on cloud native technologies, has an open architecture that interacts seamlessly with other products clients may have and manages data from the front office all the way to the back office.

Our vision remains unchanged – we want to be the world’s most trusted and comprehensive technology platform, simplifying the entire investment lifecycle and ultimately revolutionizing the world of investing.

We could have bought any number of legacy platforms, but Enfusion provided a unique opportunity because it is also a cloud-native SaaS platform with complementary functionality and market focus.

Many of us have worked very hard as a team to get this done and I could not be more excited for our clients, our shareholders and all of us.

What’s Next?

 

   

Investor Call: An investor call is scheduled for later today at 8:30 am (ET) to discuss the strategic importance of this acquisition. A live webcast of the call will be accessible via Clearwater’s Investor Relations website at investors.clearwateranalytics.com.

Employee Town Hall: Following the investor call, we’ll host a company-wide town hall to provide further insights into what this acquisition means for Clearwater and answer your questions.

This acquisition marks a significant step forward for Clearwater, combining our strengths with Enfusion innovation to create a front-to-back investment management platform for our clients.

Thank you for your hard work and commitment to making Clearwater a global leader in our industry. We look forward to connecting with all of you at the town hall.
