Options, a provider of IT infrastructure to global capital markets firms, has announced a significant investment from Vitruvian Partners. Vitruvian is a London-based private equity firm known for funding high-growth companies. This funding represents a significant milestone for the company as it aims to boost its global expansion and enhance its offerings.
With Vitruvian’s support, Options can accelerate its growth in areas like high-performance networking, cloud services, security, artificial intelligence and market data solutions.
This investment follows a successful period under the ownership of Abry Partners, during which Options acquired Fixnetix and Activ Financial, solidifying its role as a leader in the fintech space. “The transition to Vitruvian ownership signals a new era of growth, with a focus on scaling operations and continuing to deliver industry-leading solutions,” Options said in a statement.
In the last 60 days, Options has opened new offices in Toronto, Dubai and most recently, Sydney, adding to its existing locations in Paris, Chicago, Singapore, Tokyo and Auckland.
