Schroders in the news
The year 2020 has been busy for the UK fund manager.
In October last year, Schroders Personal Wealth – a joint venture of Lloyds and Schroders – partnered with Artesian Solutions to reimagine wealth management for the next generation of investors.
Last September, Schroders inked a deal to buy London-based £2.2bn family office Sandaire to strengthen its wealth management offerings for UHNW clients.
The acquisition closed last month, with Sandaire becoming part of Cazenove Capital
Meanwhile, last year, Schroders reportedly also became the first major financial services firm in London to make remote working permanent after the Covid-19 crisis by ending the usual nine-to-five working arrangement.
