Schroders (ISIN GB00BP9LHF23) became privately owned after Nuveen completed its acquisition on October 1, 2026, with shareholders entitled to GBp 590.00 in cash per share, according to Schroders. The transaction ended the listed-company phase for the 220-year-old asset manager.

What the ownership change means

The combined business brings Schroders into a broader private-to-public asset and wealth management platform. Schroders said the new group had USD 2.6 trillion in assets under management as of June 30, 2026, across institutional and wealth channels.

Schroders will continue to operate separately within Nuveen for 12 to 18 months after completion, led by Chief Executive Richard Oldfield. London will remain the combined firm's non-US headquarters, while the integration plan points to a wider platform spanning public and private markets.

Three dates shaped the transaction

On February 12, 2026, Schroders and Nuveen agreed the recommended cash acquisition, with the offer set at GBp 590.00 per share, according to Financial Times. On September 29, 2026, the court sanctioned the scheme, again preserving the GBp 590.00 cash consideration, according to Financial Times. On October 1, 2026, the scheme became effective and ownership transferred to Nuveen's Bidco.

Which dates matter for investors?

The key settlement date was October 15, 2026, when payment was due no later than 14 days after completion. The next decisive market date followed on October 2, 2026, when the London Stock Exchange cancelled trading in Schroders shares from 8:00 a.m., according to FinancialFilings.

Schroders now sits inside Nuveen

For investors, the central change is structural rather than operational: Schroders remains an active asset and wealth management business, but its publicly traded equity has been cancelled. The combined group reported USD 2.6 trillion in assets under management as of June 30, 2026, giving the acquisition a scale-based strategic rationale.
