This operation brings together decision-making tools and hedging strategies with post-trade management solutions, within a structuring and ambitious industrial project serving finance departments. Legally named Deft Softwares Europe, the five-employee publisher is being sold by Olivier Lechevalier and Karl Courant, its founders in 2017, as well as business angels.
The fintech company also offers tools for automating foreign exchange market operations and commodity management. The target, which does not disclose its revenues, has around 50 clients in France, Belgium and Switzerland.
“On the risk management side, Diapason offers features mainly focused on post-trade, such as middle-office control, back-office features such as payment instruction and confirmation management, and accounting interpretation of transactions.
DeftHedge, on the other hand, is more oriented towards decision-making tools and the development of hedging strategies, i.e. pre-trade,” adds Frédéric Saunier.
Owned by PSG Equity since 2023, Diapason thus completes its financial risk management solution called myDiapason Risk. The company also offers tools for optimising financial resources, securing payments, centralising deposits and guarantees, and managing investments.
