LPA Singapore advised Singapore Holding of the EDHEC endowment fund on the sale of Scientific Infra & Private Assets (SIPA) to PEI Group

LPA Singapore advised Singapore Holding of the EDHEC endowment fund on the sale of Scientific Infra & Private Assets (SIPA), a leading provider of indices, benchmarks and rating solutions for private infrastructure and private equity markets, to PEI Group, a global business intelligence and analytics provider.

This strategic transaction marks a significant milestone for EDHEC, successfully supporting the development and global expansion of SIPA, while enabling PEI Group to further strengthen its analytics and data offering across private markets.

Through this acquisition, SIPA’s advanced solutions — including infraMetrics, privateMetrics and privateAlpha — will be integrated into PEI’s global platforms, enhancing transparency, valuation capabilities and data-driven decision-making for investors and asset managers worldwide.

Our LPA Singapore team, led by Managing Partners Arnaud Bourrut-Lacouture and Bérengère Roig, both assisted by associates Karim Boursali, Li Ke Cheng and Marie Lefevre-Cormier, acted as strategic legal counsel to Singapore Holding of the EDHEC endowment fund and EDHEC (branch of Singapore) throughout the transaction.

We are proud to have supported our client on this landmark transaction at the intersection of academic research and global financial markets. This continued engagement reflects a long-standing relationship with EDHEC Business School, following our previous assistance to Singapore Holding of the EDHEC endowment fund in the sale of a majority stake in Scientific Beta to Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGX), the Singapore stock exchange, in 2020, and underscores our role as trusted legal counsel on its strategic transactions.
