CSI Global Education Inc. ("CSI") was acquired in January 2006 in a management buy-out led by ONCAP II. CSI, Canada's leader in financial education and testing services, provides a comprehensive range of educational solutions and custom training programs to enhance the knowledge and skills needed for a career in the securities and financial services industries. CSI is endorsed by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), Canada's stock exchanges and provincial commissions and its courses serve as requirements to sell securities in Canada.
In November 2010, ONCAP II sold CSI to Moody's Corporation in a transaction valued at approximately $155 million. ONCAP received proceeds of $146 million compared to its $25 million investment made in 2006. Onex’ share of the proceeds was $60 million. With previous distributions and proceeds from the sale of the company, ONCAP achieved a return of approximately 5.8x on its capital investment and IRR of 57%.
