Founded in 1995 as IGEFI Group, Multifonds had grown to become the European market leader for fund accounting software, serving several of the world’s largest asset managers and service platforms. Profitable since inception and experiencing strong growth with blue-chip clients, the company’s founders recognized an opportunity to expand beyond Europe and broaden their product and technology offering. In 2006, the company chose Summit Partners to help professionalize the business, strengthen senior management and position the company for continued expansion, particularly into the United States and Asia.
