Blackstone buys 75% stake in Ancestry

Hermy · 2020-08-05 15:20:29

According to this article in Bloomberg private equity firm The Blackstone Group have bought a 75% stake in Ancestry. I wonder what this will mean for the end user. Will there be any significant change to prices or services?

Private equity firms need continuous income growth so there will almost certainly be price rises in the medium term
