BMO Financial Group has rebranded its asset management business in Europe, the Middle-East and Africa (Emea) as BMO Global Asset Management.

The move follows the groups acquisition of F&C Asset Management last year. This will form the centrepiece of the newly branded business and F&C’s institutional, intermediated retail and wholesale business will be re-branded BMO Global Asset Management.

“As part of BMO Global Asset Management, F&C’s investment capabilities and solutions represent just one dimension of what we can now offer clients," said Richard Wilson, chief executive of F&C Investments and BMO Global Asset Management (Emea) 

"We are updating our branding to reflect that better. We will continue to centre our business around our clients, delivering consistent investment performance and reliable delivery of relevant products across Europe."

Direct property investors F&C REIT will be re-branded as BMO Real Estate Partners. There will be no change to F&C’s investment trust business. No fund names are changing. All changes are effective July 6 2015.

The F&C distribution teams will also operate under the BMO Global Asset Management brand. They will be responsible for distributing products from all the whole business, incuding boutique specialists LGM Investments, Monegy, Pyrford, and TCH.

“Under BMO Global Asset Management we will continue to invest in our business, building on our ambitious plans to expand our distribution team and investing in our talent. We will strengthen our teams and aim to build on our market share substantially in existing markets - such as the UK and Germany - as well as add coverage to additional countries," added Wilson.
