Mr. Reifsnider said, “The team and I are more convinced than ever of the merits of bringing together these two culturally aligned and forward-looking businesses. We believed from the outset that both organizations are a natural fit with compatibility in investment philosophy, client service and our entrepreneurial approach. The teamwork in delivering early completion and client consent is validation of this view and bodes well for future success.”

Mr. Good commented, “This acquisition significantly broadens the range of product solutions we can offer clients via an expanded distribution network, and we are focused on providing our combined investment strategies to our enlarged client base as soon as possible.  Both organizations share a core belief in investment team autonomy, and TSW’s investment autonomy will be preserved, an important consideration for our clients.

“As complementary businesses, with almost no overlap of investment strategies, together, we will be better placed to take advantage of the growth opportunities we see in the US market.”

Mr. Good concluded, “The acquisition has delivered a step change in Pendal Group’s diversification, scale and client offering. This creates enhanced opportunities for growth, particularly with increasingly positive investor sentiment, a flourishing US economy and the global economic rebound.”
