Background:
|
On April 9, 2014, John Klein had left his position as Guggenheim president.
On February 28, 2012, Deutsche Bank confirmed that it is now in "exclusive negotiations" to sell much of its global asset management business, including the DWS [profile] mutual fund business in the U.S., to Guggenheim. Yet Guggenheim and Deutsche ended the negotiations in May 2012 for all save the alternatives business.
Guggenheim Partners acquired Claymore Securities, an ETF-specialist, in 2009 and re-branded the firm with the Guggenheim moniker in September 2010. Meanwhile, in February 2010 Guggenheim Partners led a coalition to snap up Security Benefit for $400 million. That deal brought SGI | Security Global Investors and Rydex | SGI [profile] into the Guggenheim fold.
The Security Benefit deal closed in August 2010, and in September 2011 Guggenheim Partners combined its 11 asset management arms, including the former Claymore and Rydex ETF and leveraged- and inverse-mutual fund businesses, into a single, new, $119-billion-AUM subsidiary; Guggenheim Investments. At the time, Guggenheim planned to keep the Rydex brand alive only for the Rydex Target Beta funds.
In November 2011, Guggenheim's Canadian unit is reportedly a strategic target for a pair of local banks, Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada, and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management.
As of March 31, 2017, the firm has a total AUM of $260 billion.
