Summary
EQT has agreed to sell Quantios, a software-as-a-service provider specializing in trust and corporate services solutions, to Vista Equity Partners. The transaction, announced in July 2026, carries an undisclosed valuation and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
The sale represents a significant milestone for EQT's Asia Mid-Market Opportunities Fund I (also known as the BPEA EQT Mid-Market Growth Partnership), which closed in May 2024 with $1.6 billion in total commitments—exceeding its initial target of $750 million by more than 100 percent. This exit marks the fund's strategy to identify and scale mid-market software businesses across Asia.
Quantios was formed through the strategic combination of ViewPoint, which EQT invested in during 2023, and TrustQuay, which was previously backed by technology investor Hg. Following the merger, the combined entity was rebranded as Quantios and has expanded internationally while strengthening its cloud and artificial intelligence capabilities. The platform now serves approximately 700 organizations across more than 100 jurisdictions globally.
Nicholas Macksey, co-head of EQT Private Capital Asia and head of the Asia mid-market strategy, stated that the successful exit of Quantios represents an important milestone for the fund and demonstrates EQT's ability to generate value through active ownership in a more selective market for software acquisitions. Jacob Van der Wiel, managing director of EQT Private Capital Asia's mid-market team, noted that the firm had identified an opportunity to back an ambitious founder and build a global software platform when it initially invested in ViewPoint three years ago, with the company subsequently expanding internationally and enhancing its technology offerings.
