Research and Markets: New Report Tracks M&A, Partnerships and Organic Growth in Asset Management in Q4 2007

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c86423) has announced the
addition of Datamonitor's new report: M&A, Partnerships and Organic
Growth in Asset Management, Q4 2007 to their offering.

This tracker covers merger/acquisition activity globally in the
asset management space. It also highlights the strategic partnerships,
and expansion (or contraction) of existing businesses. There is also a
special focus on the important emerging markets: China, India, CEE and
the Middle East.

Scope

-- The tracker covers the M&A and partnership activities of the
largest global and regional asset management companies

-- It provides an update of each players activities in this area
and a roundup chapter which offers readers a summary of key trends in
that quarter

-- The tracker is global in coverage, therefore encompassing
market entry strategies as well as domestic M&A activity

Highlights of this title

Asset management-related acquisitions in Q4 centred on Asia,
Central and Eastern Europe and to some extent, Latin America. However
entry into China was mainly done through partnerships rather than
acquisitions.

Asia, and particularly China, was the centre of partnership
activity in Q4, with Aviva, BNY Mellon, DBS, and Unicredit all
choosing partnerships over acquisitions (the first three companies in
China and the last in India).
