pfsGROUP is a software developer targeting both large corporations and SMEs. Focused on digital platforms covering the entire risk cycle, pfs serves financial entities and funds, insurance companies and law firms, among others. It employs over 500 people across Spain, Portugal and Mexico.

AnaCap Financial Partners is a fund manager specializing in the financial services sector.

The firm is based in the UK and employs 40 professionals.

The entry into the capital of pfs is AnaCap’s third investment in Spain, after GTT (local tax management in Spain) and Further Underwriting (design and development of health insurance), and reinforces PFS’ ambitious inorganic growth plan.

Oaklins’ team in Spain acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the shareholders of pfsGROUP on all aspects of the execution, negotiation and closing of the transaction.
