JP Morgan Plans Hedge Fund Deal

JP Morgan is finalizing a deal with a UK-based hedge fund manager, which is priced at £2 billion. According to JP Morgan sources, the transaction would be along similar lines to the recent Paloma deal. It is important to remember that JP Morgan had decided to buy the middle and back office operations of Connecticut-based fund management group Paloma earlier this year.

Details of the new deal are yet to be known. According to a spokesperson of JP Morgan group, the bank is in the process of expanding its hedge fund servicing business. It is looking for similar deals in near future.
