PEI Media Group, information and events provider to the global private capital markets, acquired a portfolio of subscription-led US focused information platforms and event assets from Simplify Compliance Holdings. Financial terms were not disclosed. The businesses PEI Media Group purchased comprise Buyouts Insider with its affiliated premium information brands Buyouts, Venture Capital Journal and PEHub, the PartnerConnect events, Regulatory Compliance Watch, and the Credit Union Leadership Convention. Tim McLoughlin, CEO of PEI Media Group, said: “We see huge potential for growth in this portfolio of longstanding, high-quality subscription brands. These acquisitions immediately transform our presence in the US marketplace both commercially and in terms of talented personnel. Buyouts Insider, PartnerConnect and Regulatory Compliance Watch are a close-to-perfect overlap with our existing private market enterprises. The Credit Union Leadership Convention is the leading event in a large and important US financial sector that represents new opportunities for our group. We are delighted to be bringing it onto our platform as yet another large-scale, premium conference for financial services professionals.”
