Fincentric, a digital experience and financial data firm formerly known as Markit On Demand and part of S&P Global, is to be acquired by private equity firm Stellex Capital and combined with Los Angeles, CA-based wealth and asset management services firm Communify.

The firm will offer a library of financial apps, tapping a Knowledge Base of 4000+ unique data feeds and more than 500 million page views per day.

John Wise (pictured), who will serve as Chairman and CEO of Communify Fincentric, comments: 'Unifying Fincentric's market data capabilities with Communify's expertise in client data creates a strong digital partner for the financial markets. Our shared client-centric, design-centric mindset will be pivotal as we look to grow Communify Fincentric domestically and worldwide'.
