Quilter Seen as Potential Takeover Target for Lloyds Banking Group -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Oct 07

0639 GMT - Lloyds Banking Group could look to make an acquisition in wealth management, an area in which it is underdeveloped, RBC Capital Markets says in a research note. The bank is missing out on relatively high structural growth, returns and an opportunity to diversify its revenue stream, analysts write. They see Quilter as a particularly attractive proposition and potential takeover target. "QLT has a digestible market cap, a national distribution footprint and an adviser base that can cater to mass affluent clients, (where we see the greatest cross-selling opportunity)," they note. The end of Lloyds's Schroders Personal Wealth joint venture--as per unconfirmed press reports--could be a sign that the bank is clearing out the decks before bolstering their affluent wealth offering through inorganic activity, they add.
