ASX Company News: Iress Acquires South Africa Based Peresys

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

IRESS (IRE) announced the significant expansion of activities in South Africa through the acquisition of Peresys (Pty) Limited and Peresys’ technology for an expected ZAR 375 million (approx AUD 56.1m), before transaction costs. Peresys is a respected technology services provider in the South African financial markets with an established client base and dominant position in order  execution and FIX-based routing across all asset classes. Peresys will immediately establish IRESS’ financial markets division in South Africa, building on its  existing wealth management presence that together forms significant scale and an extensive product range in South Africa. IRESS believes in the advantages that come with scale both for its own operations, and to the benefit of its clients through product opportunities and investment initiatives.

Andrew Walsh, Managing Director of IRESS said, “For some time, IRESS has assessed the opportunity and timing to expand our presence in South Africa from wealth management and introduce our financial market services such as order executive trading and market data. The combined IRESS and Peresys service offering is anticipated to grow revenues while leveraging the largely fixed cost base.”

This acquisition positions IRESS in South Africa with an established base for future growth through combined strength in local financial markets experience and products, with IRESS products and scale to create additional opportunities.

IRESS Acquires SENTRYi To Expand Into Asia

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

IRESS announced today the acquisition of SENTRYi Pte Ltd to initiate its wealth management presence in Asia, and is a valuable step in extending IRESS’ investment and growth strategy in  Asia. The total cost of the SENTRYi acquisition will ultimately be contingent on future growth, and was structured with modest upfront payments. The acquisition was made through IRESS’ newly founded subsidiary in Asia, IRESS Market Technology (Singapore) Pte Ltd. SENTRYi is an independent software provider, based in Singapore, which develops, distributes and supports its investment planning tools designed for the Asian marketplace. SENTRYi’s software has multi-lingual and multi-location capability and is already deployed in 3 countries where it is used by both tied agency forces and independent planning groups. SENTRYi has its foundation in the emerging wealth management advice markets in Asia, and with IRESS’ backing and technology offerings, is well placed to establish a major role in the region.

IRESS Managing Director, Andrew Walsh said, “SENTRYi has made a solid start in Singapore and the region, and with IRESS providing financial confidence and capacity and with technology synergies, we are confident in the opportunity to grow our Asian wealth management business. Our immediate starting component for growth will be the existing SENTRYi software and the strong relationships already developed by SENTRYi with current and potential key customers. Beyond this, our goal will be to localise existing software functionality and services available in IRESS for the Asian market. Our initial focus is on fresh opportunities, such as extending our risk research and analytics capability for the Singapore market” said Walsh.

The transaction structure represents an acceptable upfront commitment with upside to the vendors based on meaningful growth outcomes. The upfront cash payments amount to SGD 1.296 million, with the final payment assessed in three years based on business growth over that period. The total acquisition price (including the initial payment) will be one times recurring revenue at that time.

Iress Signs South African Agreement for XPLAN

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

IRESS announced today that its South African subsidiary, Spotlight Wealth Management, has entered into a strategic supply agreement with Liberty Holdings for its web-based adviser platform, XPLAN. XPLAN was selected by Liberty after extensive market research both globally and in South Africa, and will be deployed to over 3000 tied and independent advisers. In response to the strong demand from the local market for a web-based solution, XPLAN represents the leverage of IRESS’ global experience and Spotlight’s South African specialisation. XPLAN provides tangible efficiency gains for both the adviser practice as well as large enterprise through ease of use, integration capabilities, compliance features, customisation through configuration, and deployment ease.

“We required an integration-capable solution in order to improve the efficiency and productivity of advisers, their assistants, and head office staff. XPLAN will perform a vital role in delivering our consolidated processes to our distribution force to make it easier to do business with Liberty. XPLAN will form an important component of a broader process that delivers quality, convenience and compliance to both consumers and advisers”, said Stuart Porrill, head of Distribution Technology (Liberty).

This announcement coincides with the completion in July 2009 of the contracted arrangement including earn-out with the Spotlight shareholders and key staff. Spotlight Interactive (RSA) was acquired by IRESS in 2007.
