| Acquisitions | ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of Deutsche Bank’s India Asset Management Business In August 2015, the Company and its asset management joint venture partner in India agreed to acquire Deutsche Bank’s India asset management business through the joint venture. In March 2016, the Company and its asset management joint venture partner in India completed the acquisition. This acquisition, which will expand the Company’s investment management expertise, distribution platform and product portfolio in India, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Acquisition of Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones Habitat S.A. In March 2016, the Company completed the purchase of an indirect 40% ownership interest in Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones Habitat S.A. (“AFP Habitat”), a leading provider of retirement services in Chile, from Inversiones La Construcción S.A. (“ILC”), the investment subsidiary of the Chilean Construction Chamber. The Company paid 899.90 Chilean pesos per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $532 million based on exchange rates at the share acquisition date. The Company and ILC now equally own an indirect controlling stake in AFP Habitat through a joint holding company. The Company’s investment is accounted for under the equity method and is recorded within “Other assets.” This acquisition enables the Company to participate in the growing Chilean pension market. |
