Schroders

Schroders traces its history to 1804 and has developed from a London merchant bank into a global investment business. It manages money for institutional, intermediary, retail and private-wealth clients, with operations across public markets, private markets and wealth management.

Its core strength is active investment management across equities, fixed income, multi-asset and alternatives. Schroders Capital adds private equity, private debt, real estate and infrastructure capabilities, while the firm’s sustainability platform combines ESG research, proprietary tools and active ownership.

Schroders agreed a recommended acquisition by Nuveen in February 2026. The proposed combination would create a global active asset manager with nearly $2.5 trillion in combined assets under management; completion was expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
