Dublin-based ION is a provider of market trading software for banks and other financial firms. In another financial data deal, Bregal Sagemount acquired Discovery Data in 2016.
The Carlyle Group is a global alternative asset manager with $170 billion of assets under management across 299 investment vehicles as of June 30, 2017.
