UBS is
considering acquisitions and joint-ventures to bolster its
$800 billion asset management business and stay competitive with
larger, fee-cutting US rivals.
Top executives at the Swiss lender, which has been gun-shy toward
growing via M&A, feel the company needs to ramp up its scale
to compete on a global level and may eye specialized or
retail-focused US and UK asset managers for buyout,
according to a report from Bloomberg.
UBS is unlikely to go after a single large acquisition, the
executives told Bloomberg.

struggling to compete internationally with
US asset management behemoths like BlackRock, Vanguard, and
Fidelity that
are several times larger, with trillions in AUM.
