Temenos sells Multifonds to Montagu for $400m

By Gloria Methri

Temenos has signed an agreement to sell Multifonds, its fund administration software business, to Montagu Private Equity, a European private equity firm, for a total Enterprise Value of about $400 million, including an earnout. The Multifonds executive management team will invest alongside Montagu.

Multifonds is a global provider of fund administration software, serving all asset classes across multiple jurisdictions and helping the world’s leading fund administrators, asset managers, insurance companies, and pension funds achieve increased operational efficiency whilst reducing risk.

Montagu is an established investor in the fund administration technology space and will work with the Multifonds executive team to ensure its customers continue to receive the highest levels of service. Temenos will support Montagu and Multifonds to ensure a seamless transition.

The sale of Multifonds simplifies the Temenos product portfolio. It aligns with Temenos’ new strategic and operational plan to drive above-market growth, as presented at the Capital Markets Day in November 2024. Simplifying and rationalising the product portfolio enables Temenos to focus on its three growth levers of extending market leadership in “best of suite”, enhancing modular core solutions and accelerating adjacent point solutions.

The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in Q2-25. Temenos will provide further details on the impact of the sale on the outlook for 2025 as part of the announcement of its Q4 and FY-24 results, which will take place after the market close on February 18, 2025.
