September saw significant transactions and high levels of merger and acquisition (M&A) deal activity in the investment sector. Prominent quoted companies sold non-core subsidiaries and the consolidators continued to acquire smaller wealth managers across the country. In fact, September was one of the busiest months this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At of the end of September, a total of 42 deals valued at over \u00a35m have been announced in the investment sector year-to-date (YTD), including 17 in the last quarter. Following the typical summer slowdown, M&A activity significantly rebounded in the month, reflecting the seasonal trends commonly observed in the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It involved the usual activity by consolidators acquiring smaller wealth management firms, some of which may have been prompted by owners seeking to realise value ahead of the widely anticipated increase in capital gains taxes to be announced in the Autumn Budget at the end of October. More notably, three public companies announced the sales of non-core subsidiaries to private equity funded companies and vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n

As seen in previous periods, most of the deal activity took place at the lower end of the scale in terms of transaction size, ranging from \u00a35m to \u00a325m, as acquirers benefitted from ample access to capital to support bolt-on and strategic acquisitions. But there was also a fair number of mid-sized and large deals, resulting in a distribution of transaction values YTD being very similar to 2022 and 2023.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Privately held businesses as buyers continues to increase compared to previous years. However, private equity still remains the dominant force in funding acquisitions, either directly from their funds or indirectly via their portfolio companies. A notable example of the former this month was the announcement of Oaktree Capital Management\u2019s acquisition of Close Brothers Asset Management, creating a new sizeable stand-alone wealth management group in the UK. An example of the latter was Saltus, being backed by Preservation Capital, announcing it had agreed to acquire Tavistock\u2019s financial planning businesses which it intends to manage as a separate division. This shows how powerful a force private equity can be in helping to restructure the industry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
