M&A in financial services has hit the wall and as a result, the majority of financial services organizations currently face the same challenge — how should an organization reconfigure its current portfolio of business activities to enhance investor returns? Deloitte Research, in conjunction with Linklaters — a global corporate law firm — developed a report answering this question.

Rather than being bound by the old binary approach to mergers, current and evolving market conditions require financial services institutions — from investment banks to insurance companies to retail finance players — to adopt a new philosophy towards M&A. The approach should enable financial firms to remodel their business portfolio to allow the long-term release of sub-optimal capital. Using business mergers and other appropriate approaches will be the key to prospering in the future. Learn more from the PDF file attachment below.
