Fitch Group to Acquire Trepp

Fitch Group has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Trepp, a provider of data, insights and technology solutions to the structured finance, commercial real estate, and banking sectors. Although terms were not disclosed, published reports put the acquisition at approximately $1 billion. Rothermere Continuation Holdings Limited (RCHL), parent company of DMGT, has agreed to sell Trepp, which will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Fitch Solutions, a leading provider of insights, data, and analytics.

Founded in 1979, Trepp provides primary and secondary market participants with solutions and analytics for operational efficiency, information transparency, and investment performance. Trepp serves clients across structured finance, CRE, and banking with products and services to support trading, research, risk management, surveillance, and portfolio management.

Rachel Lojko, President of Fitch Solutions, said, “The acquisition of Trepp is a cornerstone of our growth strategy as we continue to evolve for our clients. Technology is at an inflection point, and this acquisition signifies how we’re building for the future by advancing the next generation of structured finance infrastructure.”

Annemarie DiCola, CEO of Trepp, said, “This acquisition is an important moment for Trepp as it validates our core value proposition in structured finance and our expansion into commercial real estate finance. Together with Fitch, we can complement our institutional credit offerings and enhance the solutions we provide to clients with broader coverage and deeper proprietary data.”

The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2026. Centerview Partners and Goldman Sachs are acting as financial advisers and Baker McKenzie as exclusive legal adviser to RCHL.
