Aperio will be vertically integrated with BlackRock’s wealth advisory business in the U.S. but continue to operate as a separate brand.
The company's CEO Patric Geddes will retain his role as Chief Tax Strategist and also become a senior advisor with BlackRock — overlooking portfolio construction research.
Aperio’s assets under management grew at an annual organic rate of 20% over the past five years. As of Sept. 30, its portfolio of managed assets was close to $36 billion.
With the acquisition of Aperio’s operations, Blackrock’s assets under Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) will rise to over $160 billion.
Why Does It Matter: Aperio offers tax-optimized custom index equity portfolio management services to ultra-high-net-worth-individuals. According to the Wall Street Journal, through the acquisition, BlackRock can increase personalized offerings for its wealth management clients.
Earlier in October, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) acquired investment management company Eaton Vance Corp (NYSE:EV) for a purchase consideration of $7 billion payable partly by cash and the balance by way of stock.
Price Action: BlackRock closed 1.51% higher at $682.87 on Monday.
