Challenger's Fidante Pivot Removes Investor Overhang -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
06/19

2236 GMT - Challenger's decision to merge its Fidante multi-affiliate funds management business with Channel Capital removes a persistent investor overhang, Jarden says. Challenger will retain a 45% stake and receive up to A$172 million in cash. "While not a clean exit, we see this as an incremental positive for Challenger," analyst Blake Dowsett says. Fidante has been a persistent source of investor concern, Jarden says. That's despite it representing less than 10% of Challenger's Ebit, with no strategic link to the core annuity franchise. "As such, its sale into a specialist funds platform is a logical rationalization of the group structure," says Jarden, which rates Challenger at neutral. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
