Context News

JPMorgan has agreed to buy out UK investment banking partner Cazenove, and will pay £1bn for the 50% of the joint venture it doesn’t own. Cazenove shareholders are to receive £5.35 per share, which includes a 25p dividend to be paid in December.

David Mayhew will remain chairman of JPMorgan Cazenove while chief executive Naguib Kheraj will oversee the integration.
