MetLife to acquire Logan Circle Partners for roughly $250M in cash
MetLife (MET) and Fortress Investment Group (FIG) announced a definitive agreement for MetLife to acquire Logan Circle Partners, L.P., Fortress’ traditional fixed income asset management business, for approximately $250M in cash.
Following the anticipated separation of Brighthouse Financial next month and assuming the closing of the Logan Circle Partners acquisition, MetLife’s Investment Management business would have more than $560B in total assets under management, of which more than $140B would be managed on behalf of third parties.
Under the terms of the agreement, MetLife will acquire 100% of Fortress’ ownership stake in Logan Circle Partners.
This transaction will not impact MetLife’s existing $3B repurchase authorization, which is expected to be completed by year-end 2017. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017.
