Asset managers Miton Group and Premier Asset Management have agreed to merge into a single entity named “Premier Miton” The new entity will have combined assets under management of £11.5bn making it the fifth largest net seller of retail funds in the UK based on 2018 numbers.

With Premier seeing assets drop by £100m to £6.7bn in 2019 and Miton seeing asset inflows increasing over the same period the larger group should be able to sustain and increase net inflows for the new entity not to mention leverage off the larger group to increase its research and investment capabilities. 

TAM is an investor into both of these houses and as a result will be watching the deal very carefully to establish if any effects of the merger begin to spill negatively into the underlying strategies our clients are invested into, if so TAM will be quick to act.
