DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c66654) has announced the addition of "M&A, Partnerships And Organic Growth In Wealth Management, Q2 2007" to their offering.

Introduction

This tracker covers merger/acquisition activity globally in the wealth management space. It also highlights the strategic partnerships, and expansion (or contraction) of existing businesses. There is also a special focus on the important emerging markets: China, India, CEE and the Middle East.

Scope

Extensive research is conducted on the activities of 50 providers of wealth management products, globally. The developments are analyzed to identify the key global trends in product development and customer targeting.

Highlights

There was a great deal of acquisition activity among wealth managers in this quarter, which is likely to be a reflection of the current tendency for consolidation among the largest players worldwide, with many smaller, regional or niche firms continuing to be swallowed up by larger rivals. In this quarter, significant organic growth occurred in China, with several wealth managers opening new branches around the country. As part of a strong quarter for organic growth, Standard Chartered opened a new branch in Guangzhou, while HSBC launched its own mainland Chinese operations and established a network through its subsidiary.
