FTSE 100 fund manager Schroders has agreed to a surprise £9.9bn takeover by US asset management giant Nuveen, marking the end of an era for one of the City’s most recognisable names.
The 29% premium has boosted shares, but questions remain about whether investors are getting full value — especially after a strong year of profit growth, rising AUM, and cost-cutting under new CEO Richard Oldfield.
In this episode, Christopher Akers jons Dan Jones to break down the deal, what it means for shareholders and the possible implications for the rest of the asset and wealth management sector, where there’s been another big deal in recent days: unlisted wealth manager Evelyn Partners bought by NatWest. We’ll also take a brief look at emerging market specialist Ashmore, which had interims out today and has rallied particularly hard of late.
