The Swedish insurance broker and finance company, Max Matthiessen, is establishing a foothold in the Danish market by acquiring two companies – StockRate Asset Management A/S and pension advisor PensionsSelskabet pension & health care services. The acquisitions were announced on Wednesday in a press release. In a comment, Max Matthiessen CEO Jacob Schlawitz said that the company's ambition was to ”establish a presence in Denmark for future growth, both organically and through acquisitions.” By acquiring StockRate Asset Management, Max Matthiessen is gaining “more market shares within the wealth management segment,” the press release reads. It describes the acquisition as a “good match” for the company’s ambition of further international expansion. The acquisition of PensionsSelskabet will enable Max Matthiessen to establish itself in the life & pension segment in the Danish market. #assetmanagement #wealthmanagement #financialmarkets #financialindustry #insurance #investments #pension #bankingindustry

Chesnara Plc (LSE:CSN) increased its interim dividend for the 19th year in a row, with a 3% hike as it enjoyed positive commercial cash generation and looked forward to the benefits of a new strategic partnership. The UK, Netherlands and Sweden life and #pensions company posted half-year results showing a solvency position of 205%, up from 197% over the period and well above its 140-160% normal operating range. An IFRS profit before tax of £16.0 million was reported, flipping from the £54.2 million loss a year ago, and two acquisitions in the period added £55.7 million of contractual service margin. Cash generation from operations, excluding the effects of currency swings and acquisitions, of £20 million led to cash balances increasing to £127.5 million by the end of June, up from December’s £108.1 million.

I recently spoke to Wealth Professional about the latest innovation trends that can allow individual investors and their advisors to access a high quality, diversified allocation to private assets. As smaller institutional investors and advisors become increasingly interested in diversifying their portfolios beyond public markets, many are turning toward private credit, private equity and real assets in order to more closely emulate a “pension-style” asset mix and lower overall portfolio volatility. However, one of the challenges for smaller investors has always been the high minimum investment requirement needed to access the world's top private asset managers as well fund structures that are typically unfriendly for individuals. Bridgeport simplifies gaining access to private assets through its multi-manager, registered account eligible, open-ended pooled funds that are available on Fundserv. Bridgeport’s funds provide retail investors with a one ticket investment solution to easily add private equity, private credit, and private real estate and infrastructure investments to their portfolios.
