STAMFORD, Conn., April 23 — Valitana, a leading provider of analytics, workflow and portfolio management solutions for structured credit professionals, today announced a significant growth equity investment from FTV Capital, a sector-focused growth equity firm with a strong track record of investing in high-growth financial technology companies. The investment builds on Valitana’s momentum as an emerging leader for structured credit and will help the company accelerate product innovation, advance its AI roadmap and expand within structured credit and into adjacent markets, including CMBS, ABS and ABL.
The structured credit market is one of the largest and fastest-growing segments of global fixed income, with over $1 trillion in CLOs alone and record issuance in 2024 and 2025. While the market continues to expand in scale and complexity, it remains outdated with many investors still relying on fragmented data, spreadsheets, manual workflows and legacy systems to evaluate opportunities, monitor risk and manage multi-billion-dollar portfolios.
Valitana’s end-to-end technology platform brings greater transparency, speed and control to these workflows, reducing friction and enabling market participants to make faster, more informed decisions. Periods of market volatility serve as a tailwind, bolstering demand for Valitana’s offering. Trusted by more than 90 institutions globally, the company’s cloud-native solutions span two core products: Analytics, a comprehensive platform for CLO tranche, deal, manager and market-level analytics, and Vantage, a multi-asset class trade and portfolio management platform that automates front- and middle-office workflows. Valitana is also launching Vesta, a new product purpose-built for the specialty insurance market, helping MGAs, MGUs, insurers and reinsurers manage submissions, policies and risk.
“The structured credit market is defined by complexity and information asymmetry, creating both significant risk and opportunity for investors,” said Alex Belgrade, managing partner at Valitana. “Valitana gives investors the tools to navigate that complexity and act with greater confidence. We are excited to partner with FTV and draw upon their impressive track record of backing and scaling capital markets technology businesses as we advance our AI roadmap, expand our platform and set a new standard for structured credit technology.”
“Structured credit is one of the largest and most operationally intensive areas of financial markets, yet it remains underserved by modern technology,” said Mike Cichowski, partner at FTV Capital. “Valitana has built a differentiated platform that helps investors surface risk and operate more efficiently, and the company’s rapid growth, profitability and strong customer retention reflect its mission-critical value to customers. We are thrilled to lead this investment and partner with Alex and the Valitana team in this next chapter of growth.”
“We are delighted to have FTV join us as partners in Valitana,” said Tom Majewski, founder and managing partner at Eagle Point and chairman of Valitana’s board. “We believe FTV’s expertise and strategic perspective will be instrumental as Valitana enters its next phase of growth.”
Valitana will benefit from FTV Capital’s Global Partner Network® and leverage FTV Propel®, the firm’s dedicated team of seasoned operators, to accelerate execution across product development, go-to-market strategy and organizational scaling.
As part of the investment, Mike Cichowski will join the Valitana board of directors.
