About MJ Hudson
MJ Hudson (AIM:MJH) is the end-to-end solutions provider to the US$100 trillion+ asset management industry, specialising in its fastest growing segment, private markets (including private equity and venture capital).
The Company offers investors access to the growth in private markets as a tech-enabled 'picks and shovels' play.
Founded in 2010, by CEO Matthew Hudson (a private markets lawyer and former fund manager), MJ Hudson was admitted to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in 2019. The Group has grown to more than 300 professionals, serving more than 1,000 clients, across the globe, including some of the industry's largest players and 18 of the FTSE 100.
Several factors have contributed to the Group's success, to date, and support strong growth expectations, for the future:
1. As private markets grow, so do scrutiny and regulation, increasing the need for the Group's specialist advice and services, particularly in areas like ESG, where it has award-winning solutions
2. As it evolves, the sector is increasingly embracing technology, data, and analytics, where MJ Hudson has award-winning tools and in which it continues to invest
3. The Group's multi-service approach creates multiple client touchpoints, building stronger, longer-term relationships, and making it easier to sell in additional MJ Hudson services
4. Performing these services generates vast amounts of data, which MJ Hudson aggregates and analyses, in order to further support its clients, by developing new tools and fine-tuning existing services
