FTV Capital Growth Equity Investment in Valitana Structured Credit Tech

FTV Capital, a sector-focused growth equity investment firm, has announced a substantial growth equity investment in Valitana, a financial technology company specializing in analytics, workflow, and portfolio management solutions for structured credit professionals. The investment, announced on April 23, 2026, aims to accelerate Valitana’s product innovation, deepen its artificial intelligence capabilities, and extend its technology platform across the structured credit and specialty finance ecosystem.

While the exact financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, the investment underscores Valitana’s growing momentum as an emerging leader in the structured credit market. Founded in 2017, Valitana offers cloud-native solutions trusted by over 90 institutions globally. Its platform includes two core products: Analytics, which provides comprehensive CLO tranche, deal, manager, and market-level analytics; and Vantage, a multi-asset class trade and portfolio management system that automates front- and middle-office workflows.

The structured credit market is one of the largest and fastest-growing segments of global fixed income, with over $1 trillion in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) alone and record issuance expected in 2024 and 2025. Despite this growth, many investors still rely on fragmented data, spreadsheets, and legacy systems, creating inefficiencies and risk. Valitana’s platform addresses these challenges by delivering greater transparency, speed, and control, enabling market participants to make faster, more informed decisions.

Valitana is also expanding its product suite with the launch of Vesta, designed specifically for the specialty insurance market. This new offering targets managing submissions, policies, and risk for managing general agents (MGAs), managing general underwriters (MGUs), insurers, and reinsurers.

Alex Belgrade, managing partner at Valitana, commented, “The structured credit market is defined by complexity and information asymmetry, creating both significant risk and opportunity for investors. 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.”

FTV Capital, founded in 1998, has raised over $10.2 billion to invest in high-growth companies across financial technology, vertical software, and enterprise technology sectors. The firm provides portfolio companies with access to its Global Partner Network® and FTV Propel®, a team of operational leaders supporting product development, go-to-market strategies, and organizational scaling.

Mike Cichowski, partner at FTV Capital, said, “Structured credit is one of the largest and most operationally intensive areas of financial markets, yet it remains underserved by modern technology. 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.”

Tom Majewski, founder and managing partner at Eagle Point Holdings and chairman of Valitana’s board, added, “We are delighted to have FTV join us as partners in Valitana. We believe FTV’s expertise and strategic perspective will be instrumental as Valitana enters its next phase of growth.”

The investment will enable Valitana to accelerate its AI-driven analytics, expand into adjacent markets such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), and asset-based lending (ABL), and enhance its multi-asset class coverage. This growth capital is expected to streamline research and development, improve workflow automation, and increase data integration and transparency across structured credit portfolios.

As the structured credit market continues to expand and evolve, Valitana’s modern, cloud-native platform positions it to challenge legacy providers that rely on outdated manual processes and fragmented data. The deal also signals accelerating industry consolidation and increased competition focused on AI and automation in structured credit analytics.

Looking ahead, Valitana plans to leverage FTV Capital’s resources and network to scale product development while maintaining platform stability and navigating regulatory requirements in new specialty finance segments. The partnership aims to deliver enhanced value to investors managing complex, multi-billion-dollar portfolios in a rapidly changing market environment.
