Goldman Sachs has invested $20.5 million in Perseus, a managed services provider of high-speed connectivity for the trading industry.
The company supplies services and connectivity to more than 300 exchanges and 70 markets across 18 countries. In the past year, Perseus released its LiquidPath solution in the US financial market, as well as EdgePath, a fully-managed service that deploys infrastructure for the technology, media, telecoms and iGaming sectors.
“We see a great opportunity in the financial sector in general, and Perseus in particular,” explained Terry Doherty of Goldman Sachs. “Not only is their business performance exceptional, but they have the potential to dramatically shift the way that the global markets engage by introducing faster and more secure managed services to the industry.”
Jock Percy, CEO of Perseus, added: “The investment by Goldman Sachs is an important accelerator of our business. It enables us to maintain our leadership position in product and service innovation, while more rapidly expanding our global network. This ensures that we continue to meet and exceed our customers’ performance objectives around the world.”
