ABOUT THE INVESTMENT
Elian is a leading provider of trust, fund and company administration services to corporates, private clients and investment funds.
We bought Elian in 2014 in a complex carve-out from a law firm. Our strategy was to accelerate growth whilst improving operational performance. Working with management we developed new sales channels to drive growth and completed two add-on acquisitions which further added to scale and strategic presence. At the same time we focused on productivity and efficiency to improve operating margins. Earnings grew by 60% during the two years of our ownership.
We sold the business in 2016 to a strategic buyer.
“Elian has been transformed since 2014. Epiris’ input not only on M&A but also in accelerating organic earnings growth has been absolutely essential in this development and has enabled Elian to achieve its strategic objectives several years ahead of our initial plan.” (Paul Willing, CEO)
