Lionpoint Group, an award-winning global technology enablement and operations 
advisory firm, is now part of Alpha FMC, plc, a UK-AIM listed company (AIM. 
AFM). Lionpoint's acquisition by Alpha will help grow the former's geographical 
reach, breadth of services to alternative investment managers, investors, and 
advisors, and range of clientele to include multi-strategy clients who combine 
traditional and alternative assets. By joining forces, both firms will 
complement each other's capabilities as alternative investment firms 
increasingly permeate retail investors and other traditional asset managers, 
dramatically reshaping client requirements. 

"Lionpoint is a fantastic addition to Alpha and closely aligns with our 
strategy to grow our capabilities in the rapidly growing alternative investment 
space and our footprint in North America," said Alpha global chief executive 
officer Euan Fraser. "It brings to the table a complementary blue chip client 
base, leading technology solutions and key vendor partnerships, and a strong 
global management team and culture that will help double the business in four 
years. We look forward to growing our businesses together."

Under the terms of the acquisition, co-founders Nick Moore and Jonathan Balkin 
will continue to lead the Lionpoint team comprising more than 120 operations 
and technology consultants, spread across five international offices in New 
York, Denver, London, Geneva, and Sydney. "We believe Lionpoint's expansion 
into new geographies couldn't have happened at a better time or with a better 
firm," Moore said. "As a management team we are excited to become part of a 
firm whose core values align with Lionpoint's and underpin a culture of 
innovation." 

Jonathan Balkin added: "This partnership is in direct alignment with the 
changes we're seeing in the industry. Our capabilities are expanding to help 
alternative investment managers stay ahead of rapid industry changes and 
uncover new opportunities by providing specialized strategy, operations and 
technology expertise. Together, Alpha and Lionpoint can provide more 
comprehensive and innovative data and technology solutions as the marketplace 
shifts to a multi-strategy approach to asset management."

Lionpoint is a certified implementation partner of over 20 specialist private 
markets technologies and was awarded Europe's Best Technology Advisory Firm 
Award for 2021 by Private Equity Wire.

Reed Smith LLP served as legal advisor and Equiteq as investment banker to 
Lionpoint Holdings throughout the transaction.
