Banking, insurance, asset management and supporting services: these are 'people' businesses where a high quality team can make a substantial difference to performance. There are good growth prospects for many parts of this sector and clear consolidation opportunities exist in parts of the value chain.
At Candover we are assessing opportunities in both consumer-facing and corporate services. Wherever there is high-quality management there is an opportunity, whether in broking and intermediary and support businesses (Equity Trust is a good example) or in underwriting or principal businesses (such as Aspen Insurance).
