ARC Analytics is delighted to announce it has completed a strategic investment in Concept ABS, the leading primary-market ABS data provider across Europe and Australia.
The investment provides Concept ABS with long-term backing to support its strategic roadmap, expand product capability, and accelerate platform development in response to a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
Founded nearly 20 years ago, Concept ABS has established itself as the most trusted primary-market ABS database in Europe and Australia, widely regarded as the industry’s golden source for issuance data and commentary.
The platform provides comprehensive, deal-level coverage of every transaction, alongside detailed analysis and interpretation from launch through pricing and execution, delivered at speed and in real time. This combination of immediacy, accuracy and expert insight has made Concept ABS critical market infrastructure, deeply embedded within the workflows of banks, issuers, investors and trustees.
Concept ABS will continue to operate under its existing brand and business model. Matt De Bergolis, co-founder of Concept ABS, will step up to take on the role of CEO and continue leading the business day-to-day. Co-founder Andrew Dunning will remain involved as a strategic advisor.
As part of the investment, Tom Lemmon, Director of Research at ARC Risk Group, will join the Concept ABS team as a Director, working alongside Matt to support product development, strategy, and operational execution.
As a technology company specializing in structured finance, ARC Analytics will support not only with growth funding, but also with the necessary technology to help Concept ABS support its clients in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Importantly, Concept ABS customers should expect no interruption and no reduction in service. Clients will continue to receive the same high-quality and timely ABS information they have relied on for years, with enhanced product investment and innovation expected over time.
ARC Analytics and the wider ARC Risk Group are proud to support Concept ABS in its next stage of growth and development, strengthening a critical piece of infrastructure for ABS market participants for the years ahead.
“Concept ABS has spent nearly two decades building an exceptional product and a reputation that really stands out in the market. It’s widely trusted as the leading primary-market ABS dataset in Europe and Australia, or in the words of one of their many bulge-bracket clients, the golden source of ABS data and commentary.
"We see Concept ABS as much more than a data platform. It’s a critical part of the market’s infrastructure, and we’re excited to support Matt and the team as they continue to grow and evolve the business.”
“This investment is an important milestone for Concept ABS. Our mission has always been to provide the market with complete, accurate, and timely ABS issuance information, and that will not change.
"ARC Analytics gives us the backing to strengthen and modernise the platform while preserving what our customers value most: speed, reliability and depth of coverage. I’m excited to build the next phase of Concept ABS with a partner that shares our long-term outlook.”
