Grant Thornton Sells U.K. Fund Business

by: Sean Hanna, Editor in Chief

The accounting firm sold Grant Thornton Asset Management because it had determined that competing against larger asset managers would require a significant increase in its level of investment.

This decision has been taken at a time of ever greater consolidation in the industry," the company announced.
