New Private Equity collaborates with ONE, group, and solutions to create a data-centric fund governance platform for global asset management institutions.

An investment that has been approved by the Luxembourg Financial Services Commission ( CSSF ) will support this leading company, which is led by its founders and has an annual growth rate of over 35%; ONE plans to consolidate its core market presence and actively expand into the US market.

Miami and Luxembourg, October 19, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Private equity firm focused on the technology sector, New Private Equity (referred to as “NPE”), announced today that it has completed a significant minority equity investment in ONE group solutions (referred to as “ONE” or “the Group”). Headquartered in Luxembourg, ONE is a leading independent third-party fund management and governance services provider that serves asset management institutions worldwide.

According to this transaction, the founder and management team of ONE will continue to hold a substantial portion of the group's equity, and the CEO Steve Bernat will also continue to lead the company to ensure continuity for customers and employees.

The transaction has been approved by the Luxembourg Financial Services Commission. The financial terms have not been disclosed.

ONE was established in 2019 and currently has over 200 clients and nearly 200 professionals, distributed across 8 offices. The company states that, with its governance technologies and an experienced team, the group continues to maintain an annual growth rate of over 35%. The investment from NPE is aimed at supporting its next phase of growth.

NPE invests in high-quality companies in the fields of vertical software and technology-driven services. The company has developed NPE Control Tower, a proprietary end-to-end digital private equity workflow software that utilizes data and technology to create alpha value. NPE indicates that it was through its own investment identification and underwriting framework that the value of ONE as a partner was discovered and verified. After the investment was completed, NPE will use a set of proprietary tools and applications built on Foundry to accelerate the development of its partners. The text mentions that Foundry is a leading data infrastructure platform in the industry.

NPE indicates that the value creation phase begins during the due diligence period, rather than after the transaction is completed. ONE and NPE have already launched multiple projects, which include establishing a unified data layer and ontology layer for all governance workflows of ONE, as well as upgrading the core systems to drive product innovation and continue to enhance the company's high level of service quality. The text states that these initiatives have also benefited from the Foundry platform, and the ONE group has been selected for Palantir for Builders projects.

With NPE as a partner, ONE will increase its investment in technology and data capabilities, as well as in the automation of fund governance processes. At the same time, it will expand its sales team to undertake larger and more complex entrusted businesses. The goal is to establish an scalable delivery and execution model without compromising on service quality, customer satisfaction, or the additional value provided to customers.

In terms of regional layout, ONE will consolidate its core market territories, including Luxembourg, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and actively expand into the US market. The article states that in the US, asset management institutions are increasingly inclined to seek technology-oriented independent governance partners. NPE's base in Miami and its network across the US will provide support for this expansion.

NPE, co-founder and managing partner, Gero Wittemann stated: "NPE selects its partners carefully, and ONE is one of the best companies in its field. This is an excellent example of the type of company we hope to collaborate with: a company that is already outstanding and wishes to unleash its full potential with the support provided by NPE."

NPE, co-founder and managing partner, Francesco Barosi stated: "Our model is very simple: we find a company that already satisfies its customers, then equip it with data, tools, and execution discipline to serve those customers even better. At ONE, this means deploying NPE's proprietary Foundry platform as the company's digital operating system – establishing a single data layer and ontology layer for all governance workflows, and building applications and AI on top of that, rather than adding them afterwards. Every value-creation project we launch is measured from the customer's perspective: service quality, customer satisfaction, business expansion, and added value. That's precisely what an efficient execution model is all about."

ONE Group, co-founder and CEO, and Steve Bernat stated: "Although our independent company has not actively sought new partners, we chose to collaborate with NPE because their technology-based investment philosophy aligns with our beliefs: governance must continuously evolve with the help of data, digitalization, and high-level professional capabilities."

ONE, co-founder and head of strategic relations, Revel Wood stated: "From the very beginning, NPE has worked alongside our team, bringing its extensive experience in process and AI enhancement to accelerate the implementation of our plan: to create a leading governance solution technology platform. This investment allows us to invest in our employees and the platform, and to expand the range of services we provide to our customers, thereby enhancing their productivity and helping them achieve better results."

The consultants for NPE include White & Case (legal counsel), PwC (financial, tax, business, and architectural consultants), as well as AlixPartners (technical consultant). The consultants for the ONE group include PwC Luxembourg (financial and tax consultant) as well as Vertumnus (legal counsel).
