LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC
Update on the Acquisition of the Architas UK Investment
Business
On 1 July 2020, Liontrust Asset Management Plc ("Liontrust"),
the specialist independent fund management group, announced that it
had entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with
Architas Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA S.A., to
purchase (the "Acquisition") the entire issued share capital of
Architas Multi-Manager Limited and Architas Advisory Services
Limited (together, the "Architas UK Investment Business") for a
total consideration of up to GBP75 million (inclusive of the
expected net asset value of the Architas UK Investment
Business).
Liontrust further announces that the Acquisition completed on 30
October 2020, adding GBP5,691 million to assets under management
and advice ("AuMA", calculated as at close of business on 23
October 2020 for the funds and as at 30 September 2020 for the
investment advisory services) taking Liontrust AuMA to GBP26.8
billion(1) .
John Ions, Chief Executive of Liontrust, said: "This is an
important strategic acquisition for Liontrust. Completing the
purchase expands our distribution among financial advisers through
the scale of the combined multi-asset businesses, the strength of
the merged investment team, the broad range of multi-asset
multi-manager portfolios and funds and enhanced client service.
"By offering both risk profiled funds and target risk
portfolios, we will help advisers meet their suitability
requirements by being able to choose the solution that best
addresses their clients' individual needs for investment and
risk.
"Given our investment, sales and marketing capability, I have
great confidence that we will grow the multi-asset portfolios and
funds over the next few years."
(1) Liontrust AuMA as at 23 October 2020 was GBP21,060
million.
