Acuity Knowledge Partners, an Equistone-backed provider of research, analytics, and business intelligence to the financial services sector, has acquired Cians Analytics, a provider of research and analytical support for financial institutions.
Cians Analytics’s services allow investment banks, private equity funds and corporations to be able to do more with their time while significantly reducing operating costs.

Post-transaction Acuity will support over 500 banking and financial services firms worldwide. This deal also supports the significant growth we have seen, and continue to target, in key markets such as the U.S.”
