Equiniti Group Strengths, Domain Expertise, and Key Differentiators

In 2019, they made a technical separation to allow realisation of operating synergies which are being delivered in line with expectations, and provide the foundation to scale operations to support growth.

In 2018, the acquisition of Wells Fargo’s share registration business positions Equiniti for growth in the world’s deepest capital market, enhancing the opportunities for cross-selling to new and existing clients and providing an opportunity to gain a greater share of the share registration and employee plans market in the United States.

In 2020, EQ US introduced a new portal designed and built by the UK Intelligent Solutions division to service private M&A transactions. The new product introduction to the client base has seen real success. EQ US launched four new products in 2019 and those products have been sold into 70 clients, 29 of which were new client wins.
