Furthermore, Titan is also looking into acquiring Global Prime Partners Limited (GPP).
The principal terms of the partnership including the sale of Tavistock Wealth are:
- Tavistock will act as Titan’s retail distribution partner;
- Tavistock can accelerate growth of its wealth management business;
- £20m will be paid on completion with a further £20m paid in equal annual instalments over the following three years;
- Tavistock will receive additional payments over a ten-year period equivalent in value to 50% of future net income on any increased funds under management with the ACUMEN UCITS funds, and
- A new company, Tavistock Asset Management, will continue to market the group’s centralised investment proposition.
John Leiper, Tavistock’s chief investment officer, will become part of Titan and continue to work closely with Tavistock and its advisers.
To avoid doubt, Tavistock will, on completion, continue to be classified as an operating company and not as an AIM cash shell.
