The publication said that JPMorgan has no plans to invest in One Equity funds in the future.

As part of the transaction, the bidders may commit cash to One Equity’s next buyout fund.

The sale comes as the banks face regulatory pressure in Europe and the US to reduce bets, such as corporate buyouts.

The terms of the sale have not been disclosed.
