Talking point: Novacap used its financial-services fund for the acquisition. That fund closed in November 2019 as the first Canadian private equity fund focused entirely on financial-services firms. Novacap, which has $3.6 billion in assets under management, has made a number of recents bets in the tech space. Last month, it acquired an interest in e-commerce firm FortNine. In 2017, it acquired Nuvei at a valuation of $525 million. That firm is now looking to go public later this month, at a valuation in excess of US$2 billion.
