Background:
|
In July 2021, iM Global Partner bought a minority stake in Richard Bernstein Advisors (RBA), an asset allocation specialist and ETF strategist, and Barings unveiled a $166-million acquisition facility to support iM Global Partner's expansion.
On June 1, 2021, iM Global Partner closed on its planned acquisition of Litman Gregory. The deal brings iM Global its own U.S. wealth management platform and a multi-manager, subadvised mutual fund business.
Philippe Couvrecelle founded iM Global Partner (iMGP, fka iM Square) in 2013. The Paris-based firm is backed several European asset managers, including: Eurazeo (iMGP's principal shareholder), Amundi, IK Investment Partners, and Luxempart.
In addition to offering several of its own mutual funds, iMGP is primarily a distribution ally to, and minority investor in, boutique asset managers. (Some of those boutiques offer their own mutual funds or ETFs or subadvise others', and some subadvise funds for iMGP.) The iMGP folks pitch themselves as "permanent capital" that lets the boutiques remain independent while being supported on the distribution side.
