英日巨頭合作 M&G迎15%持股新里程碑




M&G與第一生命達成長期合作 第一生命擬購15%股權

投資網站Investing.com報道,英國資產管理公司M&G(倫敦交易所代碼:MNG)與日本第一生命控股公司(東京交易所代碼:8750)於週五宣布建立長期合作夥伴關係。根據協議,第一生命計劃通過市場買盤取得M&G約15%的股權,惟需獲得監管機構批准。

倫敦時間上午8時02分,M&G股價上升6.9%。

這項合作目標是在未來五年內創造80億美元的新業務,其中60億美元流向M&G,20億美元屬於第一生命。根據協議,M&G將成為第一生命在歐洲的首選資產管理合作夥伴。

M&G預計,約一半的新資金流,即至少30億美元,將來自第一生命的資產負債表,並投入M&G的投資策略中;其餘部分則來自雙方共同開發及分銷的項目。第一生命方面,亦期望通過投資自家產品及與M&G共同開發的產品,帶來額外20億美元的新業務。

此外,合作還包括在日本及亞洲市場分銷M&G現有資產管理產品、開發新壽險產品,以及在歐洲和日本的壽險領域展開合作。雙方亦將尋求在新的資產管理能力上共同投資的機會。

根據協議條款,第一生命取得股權不會改變M&G的已發行股本,且只要持股達15%以上,便有權任命一名董事進入M&G董事會。交易包括自達到15%持股門檻後的兩年鎖定期,持股上限為19.99%,並規定股權出售需有序進行。第一生命亦將享有與其持股相關的特定資訊權利。

M&G表示,儘管市場環境波動,公司仍持續推進2024財年全年策略,並稱今年迄今的表現大致符合預期。

投資銀行Jefferies對此交易初步評價為意外,但持正面看法,認為該合作無明顯劣勢,預期投資者將會積極回應。Jefferies指出,今年已有第二宗日本壽險公司與英國壽險公司合作的案例,繼明治安田購買英國保險巨頭Legal & General約5%股權後。

這項長期合作符合M&G的國際擴張策略,特別是在歐洲私人市場的布局,同時為第一生命提供了拓展亞洲及歐洲投資及分銷渠道的契機。

評論與啟示

M&G與第一生命的聯手,反映出全球金融和保險業正加速尋求跨國合作,以應對市場不確定性和尋找新成長動力。日本壽險業者積極入股歐洲資產管理公司,既是為了分散投資風險,也是希望借助成熟市場的資產管理專長,提升自家產品競爭力。M&G則透過這種策略合作,深化歐洲市場的根基,同時打開亞洲市場大門。

值得注意的是,雙方設置了持股上限及鎖定期,顯示在資本結構和管理控制權方面均謹慎考量,避免因股權變動帶來不穩定。這種以策略合作為核心、股權投資為輔助的模式,未來或將成為金融保險業跨國擴張的典範。

同時,這也突顯出亞洲資產管理市場需求旺盛,歐洲企業透過合作能更靈活地進入亞洲市場,反映全球資本流動與產業鏈整合的趨勢。對香港市場而言,這類跨境合作亦帶來啟示:本地金融機構應積極尋找國際合作機會,提升產品多元化和國際競爭力。

總括而言,M&G與第一生命的合作不僅是一宗資本交易,更是兩家企業戰略布局的關鍵一步,值得業界密切關注其後續發展與成效。
