TA Associates, a private equity firm, completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Fairstone Group, a diversified financial services provider, from Synova, a private equity firm. Financial terms were not disclosed. “I’ve been with Fairstone for almost 10 years and have seen first-hand the development of the business in that time – it has been truly impressive. I’m particularly proud that the company has delivered such an exceptional return to all our earlier stage shareholders whilst also creating very meaningful value for a large number of our colleagues. This is a deal that we believe is genuinely in the best interests of all stakeholders. That really is something special," David Hickey, Fairstone Group Chairman.
