There are a number of parties who might consider a buy out, but not at market valuation. Can't see that anyone would pay more than $40-50M for it, in the current situation. The platform services side would be more attractive.
Unfortunatltely, the Fund Services business is more valuable to OVH than to a buyer. Selling such a business usually triggers clients to do a market evaluation and there is a significant leaking of clients.....usually the more valuable ones. Fund services would only be bought on a success fee basis and in the current market that would yield $10-15M tops!
I can't think of any existing player, or any potential new players I know of, who would want the whole OVH package.
