Resolution aims big for first acquisition

Clive Cowdery’s Resolution investment vehicle is targeting a larger-than-expected initial acquisition in the £5bn-£7bn price range, using its shares to help fund part of a deal. The price range puts most of the UK listed life and pensions sector within reach of Resolution – apart from the two largest, Prudential and Aviva – after Resolution raised £600m in its December listing. Cowdery said that using new shares to help fund deals would increase the size of the firm’s targets.
