New Private Equity has collaborated with ONE, group, and solutions to develop a data-driven fund governance platform for global asset management companies.

This investment, approved by CSSF, has strengthened a leading company led by its founders with an annual growth rate of over 35%; ONE will increase its business efforts in core markets and actively pursue expansion in the United States.

Miami, USA, and Luxembourg, October 20, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Technology-oriented private equity firm New Private Equity (referred to as NPE) announced today that it has acquired a significant minority stake in ONE group solutions (referred to as ONE or the "Group"). ONE is an independent leading service provider headquartered in Luxembourg that provides external fund management company ( ManCo / AIFM ) services as well as governance services for global asset management companies.

According to the transaction arrangements, the founder and management team of ONE will retain a significant portion of the group's shares, while the Managing Director Steve Bernat will continue to lead the company, thereby ensuring continuity for customers and employees.

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

ONE was established in 2019 and currently has nearly 200 employees across 8 locations, serving over 200 clients. With its governance technologies and experienced team, the company continues to achieve annual growth of over 35%. The investment from NPE will support this growth as it enters the next phase.

NPE invests in top-tier industry software and technology-enabled service companies. Through NPE Control Tower, the company is developing a new, proprietary, and fully digital private equity investment process that utilizes data and technology to generate excess returns. NPE states that, with its proprietary screening and due diligence methods, the company has identified and confirmed ONE as a partner, proving its value for collaboration. After the investment is completed, NPE will leverage a series of proprietary tools and applications built on Foundry, an industry-leading data infrastructure platform, to drive the growth of its partners.

NPE begins to create value during the due diligence phase, rather than waiting until after the transaction is completed. ONE and NPE have already launched multiple projects, including establishing a unified data and ontology layer for all governance processes of ONE, as well as expanding the core system to accelerate product innovation and further enhance the service quality that already puts the company in a leading position. These initiatives are also supported by Foundry; ONE has therefore joined the Palantir for Builders projects.

With the support of NPE, ONE will further enhance its investment in technology and data capabilities, artificial intelligence, and the automation of the entire fund governance process. It will also expand its sales team to serve larger and more complex entrusted projects. The goal is to establish a scalable delivery and execution model without compromising on service quality, customer satisfaction, or customer value.

ONE will continue to strengthen its presence in core markets such as Luxembourg, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and actively pursue expansion in the United States, as more asset management companies are seeking independent, technology-driven governance partners. The office location in Miami, as well as NPE's network in the US, will support this expansion.

NPE, co-founder and managing partner, Gero Wittemann stated: "NPE is very cautious in selecting partner companies, and ONE is one of the best companies in the industry. This perfectly reflects the type of company we are looking to collaborate with – it is already outstanding on its own, and we also hope to leverage the support of NPE to unleash its full potential."

NPE, co-founder and managing partner, Francesco Barosi said: "Our model is very simple: we find a company that already serves its customers well, and then we equip it with data, tools, and the necessary execution discipline to enable it to provide even better customer service. For ONE, this means adopting NPE's proprietary Foundry deployment as the company's digital operating system: establishing a unified data and ontology layer for all governance processes, so that applications and AI can be built on top of it from the beginning, rather than adding them afterwards. Every VCP project we launch is measured by its impact on customers: quality of service, customer satisfaction, growth, and value created. That’s the essence of an efficient execution model."

Co-founder and Managing Director Steve Bernat added, "As a company led by its founders, we did not actively seek new partners, but ultimately chose to collaborate with NPE because their technology-oriented investment philosophy aligns with our beliefs: governance must continuously evolve through data, digitalization, and in-depth professional face-to-face consulting."

Co-founder and Head of Strategic Relations, ONE, added, " NPE has been working closely with our team from the very beginning, bringing its rich experience in process optimization and complementary AI applications to accelerate our plans for building a leading governance solutions technology platform. Thanks to this investment, we can continue to invest in our staff and platform, expand our services to customers, thereby improving productivity and delivering better results for them."

The legal counsel for NPE is White & Case, the financial, tax, structural, and business affairs consultants are PwC, and the technical consultant is AlixPartners. The consultants for ONE are PwC Luxembourg (financial and tax) as well as Vertumnus (legal counsel).
