CLEVELAND, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Riverside Company, a global private investment firm focused on the smaller end of the middle market, announced that its portfolio company Wall Street Prep (WSP) has acquired Financial Edge and Euromoney Learning, two leading global providers of financial education and professional development. 

These investments represent Wall Street Prep’s first add-ons and create a leading global platform for finance training – serving financial institutions, universities, and professionals worldwide through integrated in-person, digital, and open-enrollment learning solutions.

Headquartered in London, Financial Edge provides new-hire training for elite investment banks, private equity firms, asset managers, corporations, students, and other finance professionals. Its offerings are delivered via in-house sessions and experiential learning through its cutting-edge, digital Felix platform.

Also headquartered in London, Euromoney Learning offers over 100 courses across banking and finance, risk and compliance, and professional development topics focused on continuing professional development for mid-career professionals. The company serves a global client base across the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Africa. Euromoney Learning offers in-house bespoke training programs and public courses.

“Euromoney Learning and Financial Edge bring impressive expertise and long-standing global client relationships to Wall Street Prep,” said Peter Tsang, Co-Chief Investment Officer of Riverside’s Capital Appreciation strategy (RCAF). “These additions significantly broaden WSP’s content portfolio, expand its international reach, and strengthen its ability to serve financial institutions at scale.”

“As traditional roles and skills in finance are being reshaped by AI, clients need training partners who act as extensions of their teams – bringing thought leadership and innovation to talent development,” said Matan Feldman, CEO of Wall Street Prep. “This combination unites three of the most respected names in financial education. For our clients, it means access to the most comprehensive suite of solutions in the industry and a partner who can support them at every stage of their teams’ growth.”

“We’re excited to welcome both Financial Edge and Euromoney Learning to the WSP platform,” said Riverside Vice President Scott Henderson. “These strategic integrations will create the leading global learning platform focused on workforce development and upskilling across the financial industry.”

These investments underscore Riverside’s deep specialization in the Education and Training sector. Riverside has invested in more than 120 education and training companies, including those specializing in pre-K, K-12, post-secondary education, corporate training and certifications.

Working with Tsang and Henderson on this deal for Riverside were Vice President Jared Beauchamp and Operating Partner Paul Skordilis. Senior Partner, Capital Markets, Anne Hayes secured debt financing. The deal was sourced internally, with contributions from Origination Partners Grant Marcks and Cheryl Strom, and Managing Director, Head of European Origination, Ali Al Alaf.
