UK-based Tatton Asset Management (TAM) has closed a previously announced deal to buy 50% of share capital in investment manager 8AM Global for £7m.

The acquisition, which was first disclosed in April this year, was completed after TAM received regulatory approval for the deal. It includes an option for TAM to purchase an additional 50% share in 8AM Global over a period of time.

8AM Global mainly provides risk-profiled model portfolios (MPS) and several multi-manager funds.

With the new deal, TAM aims to boost its current portfolios as well as help financial advisers with affordable investment management solutions.

TAM also seeks to provide independent financial advisor (IFA) customers with improved risk profiled investments using 8AM Global’s knowledge and approach in the field.

Following the conclusion of the deal, 8AM Global’s assets under management (AUM) is set to reach around £8bn. The deal is also expected to create £7m in adjusted operating profit in the first full year of proprietorship.
