Rivals are showing an active interest in NN Investment Partners.
NN Group's investment arm, NN Investment Partners (NNIP), is garnering attention from several competitors as potential suitors for a takeover. The announcement of NN Group exploring options for NNIP, including mergers or partial sales, was made on April 26.
The potential acquisition of NNIP is generating significant interest from the financial industry, with estimates suggesting the purchase price could reach €1.5 billion. Some of the reported interested parties include DWS, Italian insurer Generali, Swiss banking giant UBS, insurance conglomerate Allianz, and some U.S. companies.
Initial bids to acquire NNIP have already been submitted by DWS and Italian insurer Generali. The potential acquisition by these companies is currently under consideration. Swiss banking giant UBS and insurance conglomerate Allianz are also reportedly interested in acquiring NNIP, but no official bids have been made public.
Bloomberg and Handelsblatt are the sources reporting on the potential acquisition of NNIP. However, no definitive information about the buyers or the estimated purchase price for NNIP as of mid-2025 is available at present.
While NN Group's spokesperson declined to comment further, citing the April press release, it's clear that the potential acquisition of NNIP is a topic of much discussion in the financial world. For precise information about potential buyers and the estimated purchase price for NNIP, it's recommended to consult specialized financial news sources, press releases from NN Investment Partners or its parent group, or regulatory filings that disclose large transactions once available.
NN, Inc. and NN Group N.V., while related entities, have not been directly linked to the potential acquisition of NNIP. A broad report about US investment banks expanding globally mentions Goldman Sachs buying "NN Investment Partner" without specifying when or the price, but this reference is vague without confirmatory details or context.
NNIP currently manages around €300 billion worth of assets, making it an attractive prospect for asset managers looking to expand their portfolio. The potential acquisition of NNIP could involve multiple asset managers, as the competition for this significant investment arm heats up.
The other asset managers, keen to expand their finance portfolios, are showing interest in the potential acquisition of NNIP, as the competition for this significant investment arm becomes increasingly intense. Due to the vast assets managed by NNIP, valued at around €300 billion, multiple asset managers could potentially be involved in the acquisition.
