Clearwater Will Deliver Industry’s First Unified, Cloud-Native Front-to-Back Platform for Institutional Investors
BOISE, Idaho & NEW YORK & CHICAGO & LONDON & HONG KONG, April 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clearwater Analytics (NYSE: CWAN), the most comprehensive technology platform for investment management, today announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Enfusion, Inc. (NYSE: ENFN), a leader in software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for the investment management and hedge fund sectors, in a deal valued at approximately $1.5 billion.
This strategic combination positions Clearwater as the industry’s first single-instance, multi-tenant, cloud-native platform to unify front, middle, and back-office investment operations. By integrating portfolio and order management, IBOR, risk, accounting, and client reporting into one seamless solution, Clearwater is replacing the fragmented legacy model with a modern platform that empowers faster decision-making and operational clarity across asset classes and geographies.
"The close of the Enfusion acquisition marks a major milestone—not just for Clearwater, but for the entire investment management industry," said Sandeep Sahai, Chief Executive Officer of Clearwater Analytics. "By combining Enfusion’s strong front-office capabilities with our established middle and back-office solutions, we are accelerating our journey towards a fully integrated, cloud-native front-to-back investment management platform. This combination will eliminate costly data handoffs and inefficiencies stemming from fragmented workflows, empowering our clients to make faster, data-driven decisions with complete confidence in their data."
"I’m immensely proud of what the Enfusion team has achieved and the shareholder value we delivered. Enfusion's focus on innovation and client requirements created a world-class disruptive technology platform, fundamentally changing how our clients execute their operational workflows, implement investment strategies, manage portfolios, and optimize data insights," said Oleg Movchan, former CEO of Enfusion. "By joining forces with Clearwater, we’re opening up amazing possibilities for the next wave of innovation in investment technology. I couldn't be more optimistic about how this combination will benefit our clients and transform the industry."
Today’s institutional investors—asset managers, insurers, pensions, endowments, and sovereign funds—face increasing complexity across portfolios, geographies, and asset classes. Many still rely on outdated systems that silo data and delay insight. The expanded Clearwater platform will address these challenges by offering:
Seamless integration across front, middle, and back-office workflows
A single security master and data model for consistent, real-time views of positions, performance, and risk
An open architecture that connects to a growing ecosystem of partners and capabilities
"Enfusion adds proven front-office depth to the Clearwater platform, giving our clients real-time access to portfolio and order management, IBOR, risk, and reporting—all in one system," said Neal Pawar, President, Head of Asset Management at Clearwater Analytics and former Chief Operating Officer at Enfusion. "The operational benefits are immediate: no batch processing, no manual reconciliation, and no duplication of data. Clients now have a shared, live view of their portfolios and operations—enabling faster execution, stronger risk oversight, and a platform that evolves with them. This is the new foundation for institutional investment technology and operations."
Clearwater’s growth in asset management—its largest market segment—is expected to accelerate, with Enfusion’s strength in the hedge fund space and the ability to integrate Enfusion’s front office capabilities with Clearwater’s middle and back office. This will result in a meaningful expansion of Clearwater’s Total Addressable Market.
The acquisition also significantly expands Clearwater’s international presence. Enfusion generates 38% of its revenue from Europe and Asia, supported by strong teams in London, Mumbai, Bangalore, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Clearwater will now serve clients from key global hubs including Boise, New York, Edinburgh, and New Delhi, providing localized support and delivery at scale.
Unified client onboarding can currently be offered, and the first wave of integration milestones—including unified dashboards, streamlined reconciliation, and roadmap alignment is already well underway.
This announcement follows Clearwater’s recent acquisition of Blackstone’s BISTRO platform, which adds deep analytics and data infrastructure for private and structured credit markets. Clearwater also previously announced its intent to acquire Beacon, a provider of enterprise risk analytics and technology infrastructure. That transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks, further enhancing Clearwater’s ability to support complex, cross-asset strategies with institutional-grade analytics.
Clearwater Analytics will discuss the Enfusion acquisition during its First Quarter 2025 earnings conference call on April 30, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Registration for the live webcast and a copy of an investor presentation deck regarding the acquisition is available on the Company’s investor relations website.
