Lloyds Banking Group has agreed to sell its Insight asset management business to Bank of New York Mellon for £235m.
BNY is taking on £80bn in funds managed by Insight for clients outside the Lloyds group, as well as the Insight management team led by Abdallah Nauphal. The £235m price tag consists of £200m in cash and the remainder in equity. Analysts said the deal could mark a phase of consolidation and disposals among mid-sized asset management groups.
