Samantha Lee/Business Insider After a wave of asset management deals last year, analysts expect consolidation to continue. JPMorgan is seeking a deal in the space, and Wells Fargo just sold its asset management arm. BrightSphere and WisdomTree Investments are among possible takeover targets, analysts say. Across the asset management industry, where sheer scale and the right range of products reign supreme, firms have long sought out deals. But crushing fee pressure has spurred more aggressive consolidation in the last few months. After a flurry of combinations in 2020, Wells Fargo said in late February that it would sell its asset management business to private equity firms GTCR and Reverence Capital Partners for $2.1 billion.
