Prudential (PUK) is looking at various options for its asset manager Eastspring Investments, including the sale of a minority stake that could value the business at about $3 billion, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The company is considering selling about 30% of Eastspring and forming a partnership to help Eastspring diversify into private credit and dollar-denominated assets, according to the report.
Prudential is working with a financial adviser to review the Singapore-based firm and has started sounding out prospective buyers, Bloomberg added.
Prudential and Eastspring did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
