在欧洲的兜售梅隆

基于匹兹堡的公司可以成为海外的主要资产经理吗?区域首席杰克克林克已经令人敬畏的开始,但脾气暴躁的收购仍然露出来。

    In the early years of the Great Depression, Treasury secretary Andrew Mellon endorsed the Federal Reserve Board's tight monetary policy and urged investors to "liquidate stocks. . . . It will purge the rottenness out of the system." Purging, it turned out, was exactly the wrong remedy, helping to send a weak economy into one of the most severe and prolonged downturns in U.S. history.

    Mellon应该坚持家庭企业,银行。在他命运的政府服务,安德鲁,他的兄弟,理查德和他们的父亲,托马斯是一名退休法官,成立于1869年的梅隆&儿子。它很快成为他们家乡,宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的商业图标之一。梅隆在包括钢铁巨头安德鲁卡内省的地方企业借款人,梅隆进入该国最强大的工业贷款人之一。Growth continued pretty much unabated until the mid-1980s, when management of the renamed Mellon Bank Corp. failed to foresee the shrinking fees and increasing credit risk in lending to corporate giants like U.S. Steel Corp. Awash in bad loans, Mellon posted its first-ever loss in 1987.

    通过在旧金山克罗克银行(现在的Wells Fargo&Co.)中提出的新首席执行官Frank Cahhouet,通过清除了令人难以置信的公司贷款银行,从安德鲁梅隆拿了一页。他将不完美的人们陷入了“坏银行”,格兰特街国家银行,然后逐步开始向剩下的“良好的银行”远离传统的企业贷款,进入更快的增长,更有利可图的地区,包括金钱管理和监护。1994年,加州地区购买了波士顿有限公司和德雷福斯基金,使Mellon成为其蓬勃发展的资产管理业务的开始。

    Cahouet's successor, Martin McGuinn, who took the helm in 1999, further honed the bank's focus by jettisoning its U.S. retail operations in 2001. Mellon, with total assets under management of $612 billion, now ranks sixth on Institutional Investor's list of the top U.S. money managers. Asset management kicks in approximately 40 percent of Mellon's total revenues; custody and other institutional services account for the remainder.

    Now McGuinn is determined to lessen Mellon's reliance on the U.S., where nearly 95 percent of its assets reside and about 90 percent of its $4.6 billion in revenues are generated. He's convinced that the U.S. money management market is oversupplied and that Mellon has better growth prospects in the U.K. and Europe. McGuinn has made a pretty big bet: In March employees will move into its new European headquarters in the City of London, the eight-story, 380,000-square-foot, brick-and-glass Mellon Financial Centre.

    新建筑说,麦吉恩说,“应该被视为我们对该地区承诺的象征。”

    到目前为止,梅隆已经采取了一些小型,成功的措施,将其欧洲资产管理业务加强。它建立了英国收购,牛顿投资管理,造成了一些小额投资和彻底购买,并使用基于伦敦的营销人员销售美国产品。但是,该银行于1904年开始帮助基于企业客户的海外扩张,当时欧洲资产仍然持续较少,而不是比摩根峰值资产管理,超过1400亿美元的330亿美元。一个问题:尽管有几次尝试,但它未能在过去三年中获得一个主要的欧洲资产经理。

    自2001年11月以来,39岁的Jack Klinck,McGuinnTomgégé和前美国快递高管曾落后的梅隆信用卡业务,已监督Mellon Europe,授权在该地区发展其资产管理和监护群体。

    "Mellon has been a predominantly U.S.-focused institution for most of the last century," says Klinck. "That will not change overnight. But we know the future growth of Mellon will in large part come from Europe. We are pushing ahead, and we're confident of success."

    正如克林克所看到的那样,许多欧盟国家的老龄化人口和迫在眉睫的养老金改革为机构货币管理者提供了机会。此外,在瑞典的AP资金(AllmänaPensionsFopen)和爱尔兰国家养老金储备基金等新的政府赞助亚博篮球怎么下串资产的建立提供了机构货币管理人员的开放。

    目前,梅隆的欧洲资产由一家公司管理,纽顿,1997年收购的伦敦房屋。在牛顿的330亿美元的管理资产中,55%是机构,45%是零售额。其投资组合崩溃:76%的股权和固定收入的剩余部分。

    A founding shareholder, Mellon retains a 30 percent stake in Pareto Partners, a highly successful 12-year-old London-based currency overlay specialist with $35 billion in assets under management.

    In Europe as in the U.S., Mellon has a balanced organizational structure. Its setup falls somewhere between the total integration pursued by giants like Merrill Lynch Investment Management and the decentralized model pioneered by United Asset Management in the 1980s and 1990s. MLIM runs all of its investing, marketing and distribution from one centralized organization. American Express Asset Management and other followers of UAM, which was acquired by South African insurer Old Mutual in 2000, have operated as loose alliances of boutique firms that retain substantial autonomy.

    The individual money management firms that Mellon owns have wide latitude to select and oversee their investments. Marketing, on the other hand, is centralized. In Europe that means that Mellon Global Investments sells the firm's European products as well as the funds and portfolios offered by Mellon's U.S. money management arm, which includes institutional asset managers such as Boston Co. Asset Management and Franklin Portfolio Associates and retail fund families like Dreyfus Corp. and Founders Asset Management. In the alternative assets arena, the firm operates Mellon Global Alternative Investments and Mellon HBV Alternative Strategies.

    “在分销,销售和营销中,我们相信规模经济,”Klinck说。“但是,在基金经理坐在的这些业务的制造中心,产生阿尔法的制造枢纽是不正确的。我们不相信有一个银弹,可以创造投资表现。我们不会强迫任何人购买Mellon投资哲学或观点。“

    伦敦博尔顿咨询集团的资产管理实践负责人Notes Andy Maguire:“Mellon是少数公司融合了其资产管理业务的公司之一,而不会破坏它所购买的东西。它的分销策略也非常聪明。它真的很聪明。它真的知道每一段业务的底线影响都是它所做的。这听起来很明显,但它真的很少见。“

    当然,牛顿拥有一个快速增长的资产基础。在过去的五年中,资产从210亿美元增加到330亿美元。什么解释了一个艰难的市场环境中的崛起?信誉可观,绩效和有效的营销,特别是在零售市场中。虽然牛顿曾主要被视为机构经理,但它在说服独立财务顾问销售其产品方面取得了良好的进展。

    Newton's balanced (multiasset) U.K. and European institutional equity products, with combined assets of $15 billion, have outpaced the median performance in each of the past six years, according to the Russell Mellon CAPS pooled universe.

    零售业绩同样是坚实的。由标准普遍跟踪的12个资金,十个是额定双重或更高的。牛顿更高的收入基金,债券组合和高收益股,是一项特别值得注意的成功。6月,经理Clive Gemgle两年后,从他的导师,Toby Thompson,16岁的基金的资产超过了10亿英镑(17亿美元)。根据Lipper Hindsight的说法,基金在U.K.的最高四分位数。

    "Newton was hardly on the radar screen five years ago but is a pretty well known retail force now," says Mark Dampier, head of manager research at Bristol-based Hargreaves Landsdown, one of the U.K.'s largest independent financial advisers.

    但牛顿面临着份额的份额。最戏剧性地,收购次数大约四年后,该公司遭遇了一股重点投资专业人士的脱落,留下了他们的购回后的就业协议。除了U.K.股权汤普森外,叛逃者包括创始人和董事长斯图尔特·牛顿,CONIN Harris,Colin Harris,Charles Richardson,欧洲Kieran Gallagher和Marketer Guy Bowles负责人。

    虽然当时有一些关于文化冲突的谈话,但大多数观察家都认为那些留下的人只是在途中继续前进。Mellon选择通过雇用内部来稳定业务。它被称为固定收入Helena Morrissey的负责人作为新CEO,而且长期的股票基金经理Jeff Munroe成为CIO。它还招募了Raj Shant从瑞士信贷资产管理管理,以监督欧洲业务。Glen Pratt是一家最富裕的保真度U.K.股票经理,以及Goldman Sachs Asset Management的全球股票团队的全球股票公司也加入了该公司。

    直到最近,由于员工动荡,顾问是谨慎的推荐牛顿,但良好的表现和几年的管理稳定都有令人担忧。“表现并没有遭受遭受,”Dampier说。

    牛顿叛逃也没有阻止Mellon引起一些有价值的分销协议。Klinck特别为2002年12月达到德国HVB集团(前身Hypo-Vereinsbank)达到的广泛协定.HVB,德国第二大银行和欧洲最大的企业贷款人,2000年在2000年销售伦敦的资产管理 -基于货币经理外国和殖民地管理,专注于分发其他公司的产品。根据Klinck的交易条款,HVB将为其制度客户提供八个Mellon产品,主要是固定的收入相关。

    “我们喜欢Mellon可以获得具有良好轨道记录的精品基金管理业务,”Hubb的产品开发负责人Harry Lusser说。

    随着HVB交易的令人鼓舞,它不会在大收购的方式上跳跃起步增长。到目前为止,重大购买梅隆。竞争公司于2000年的外国和殖民地购买,而是2001年Gartmore,2002年的皇家和阳光投资以及今年的Rothschild资产管理和ThreadNeedle投资。Klinck表示,伦敦的资产750亿美元资产竞标,向美国运通公司丢失,向美国运通公司丢失,为价值为重点的货币经理支付了5.7亿美元。

    “如果Mellon希望通过收购增长,那么它已经看到了一些好的特许经营权来市场,”一位竞争对手的欧洲货币经理说。“怀疑必须是它不喜欢支付。”Mellon发言人说:“我们的政策不是对猜测或市场谣言发表评论。”

    Mellon已经提出了一些相对较小的欧洲收购,主要是旨在提高产品专业知识或客户分销而不是资产。2002年,从澳大利亚的金融服务提供商AMP购买了1.37亿美元的亨德森私人资产管理,以获得未公开的金额。这款牛顿的私人客户资产增长了75亿美元。2002年7月,它收购了HBV资本管理,伦敦和纽约的对冲基金公司,拥有5.3亿美元的资产。

    Given the dismal state of the money management business, Klinck should have more chances. An investment banker estimates that as many as 20 London-based firms could be had for a reasonable price these days.

    Klinck是一位自然谨慎的买家,另一个银行家专门从事基金管理。“你不能卖给他梦想,”他报道。“他对财务感兴趣。仍然,有些机会将与他错过的事业讨论。”klinck和mellon还有时间搞定。
