Information Publishing Limited (“IPL”), an investment holding company with strategic investments across the capital markets and data software sectors, announces it has acquired Copp Clark, a leading publisher of financial trading and settlement calendars in the world.
The acquisition marks another significant milestone in IPL’s long‑term strategy to build and scale mission‑critical data businesses.
“Copp Clark’s precise, trusted market‑holiday schedules and settlement services cater to the needs of businesses in the global financial markets,” said Jonathan Bloch, IPL’s Chief Executive Officer. “By welcoming Copp Clark into the IPL group we will accelerate its product roadmap, broaden distribution, and continue to raise the bar for data quality and customer service.”
Since 1982, Copp Clark’s Holiday Data service has supplied operational calendars for global financial markets. Institutions across trading, asset management, clearing, and fintech use the data to align trading‑day conventions and reduce settlement risk. Out‑of‑date or in‑house calendars can expose firms to failed trades, financial loss, and reputational damage.
Newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Martin, added: “Copp Clark has delivered market holiday reference data information that underpins global markets. Partnering with IPL gives us the capital, operational support, and strategic vision to invest in new technologies while preserving the independence and reliability our clients expect.”
Copp Clark will continue to operate from its Toronto headquarters as an independent subsidiary of IPL. The company’s leadership team, workforce, and existing customer terms and conditions remain unchanged. DC Advisory served as exclusive financial adviser to IPL on the acquisition.
