SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. completed the acquisition of Curo Fund Services on November 12 2025, adding a client base that manages more than R 3 trillion (USD 170.4 billion) and roughly 300 employees to its Cape Town office.
The deal expands SS&C’s Global Investor & Distribution Solutions platform, giving South African and African clients access to the company’s automation, data‑analytics and global operational expertise. Curo already uses several of SS&C’s fund‑accounting and asset‑servicing technologies, and the integration is expected to accelerate growth across the region without disrupting existing client arrangements.
Strategically, the acquisition strengthens SS&C’s foothold in a high‑growth market, broadens its product offering in fund administration, and positions the company to capture additional market share in Africa. By bringing Curo’s deep client relationships and proven service track record into its Global Investor & Distribution Solutions group, SS&C can leverage its technology stack to deliver a more comprehensive suite of solutions to insurers, asset managers and institutional investors in the region.
Bill Stone, Chairman and CEO of SS&C, said the partnership would “accelerate innovation and offer a more robust suite of solutions” for the region’s financial institutions. Lionel Vice, CEO of Curo, added that the collaboration would “enable us to deliver greater value to our clients through enhanced technology and global reach.”
Analysts have reiterated buy ratings for SS&C following the announcement, citing the company’s strong third‑quarter 2025 earnings and its continued focus on strategic acquisitions. The positive sentiment reflects confidence in SS&C’s ability to scale its AI‑driven platforms and expand its global footprint through targeted deals.
The acquisition underscores SS&C’s broader strategy of growth through acquisitions that complement its technology stack and global reach. With a record $600.4 million in adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2025 and a robust operating‑cash‑flow position, SS&C is well‑positioned to invest in high‑return verticals while delivering value to its expanding client base across the globe.
