Becoming an independent market leader
We supported Equatex transform into a completely independent business with robust governance and operations.
It invested in its technology and new products and consolidated its market-leading position by winning new customers and making selective acquisitions.
A formal sale was initiated in 2018 and, after a competitive process, Equatex was sold to Computershare, an Australian stock transfer company.
