The Centre for Private Equity and MBO Research (CMBOR) and With Intelligence launch a partnership to power private equity data innovation

Nottingham University Business School and With Intelligence are proud to announce an exclusive partnership that will expand access to high-quality private equity deal data through The Centre for Private Equity and MBO Research (CMBOR).

Founded in 1986, CMBOR – part of Nottingham University Business School - maintains a unique and comprehensive database of more than 48,000 private equity-backed buyout investments across Europe. CMBOR has an unrivalled reputation, collecting and aggregating quantitative deal data across value, volume, region, industry, structure, and exit.

With Intelligence, the leading provider of investment intelligence, continues to invest in developing its private markets offering, providing transparency for investors on the full lifecycle of capital allocation from LP to GP to fund to investment. The partnership aligns with recent acquisitions SPS (Sutton Place Strategies) and The Deal, providing best-in-class deal news, data, proprietary pipeline tracking, and deal origination capabilities.

The strategic agreement allows With Intelligence the ability to integrate CMBOR data into existing products, enhancing the breadth and depth of private equity coverage.

Professor Kevin Amess, Director of CMBOR, said:

“Collecting data and providing market intelligence has evolved tremendously since CMBOR's inception. We are very excited to have With Intelligence as a partner, who will take CMBOR's data and reach to the next level.”

For over 38 years, the CMBOR database has been used to produce quarterly reports for industry professionals, academics and regulators. The Centre’s market intelligence on private equity activity and analyses of trends provide independent analysis and advice, to enhance government and industry understanding of the private equity market and inform the development of policy and practice.

Cornelia Andersson, Chief Product Officer at With Intelligence, said:

“This is a very exciting agreement for us. By integrating CMBOR with our existing private equity data we’ll bring further value to our customers looking for opportunities within private markets and improve transparency for investors and capital allocators.”
