Vista Equity Partners is exploring strategic options for Finastra that could include a sale of the financial software provider. The private equity firm is working with bankers at Morgan Stanley on the review, which is in its early stages and could result in a sale of the company, Vista selling a stake in Finastra, or a combination with another industry player, according to a Reuters report citing people familiar with the matter. London-based Finastra has drawn initial interest from parties including other financial sponsors, with Blackstone among possible bidders looking at the firm.
