(Reuters) - Australia's IOOF Holdings <IFL.AX> on Friday said it sold its holding in domestic fund manager Perennial Value Management Ltd (PVM), aiming to focus on its core wealth management business.
IOOF, which held a 52.4% equity stake in PVM, did not disclose a payment for the divestment but said the "consideration for the transaction was supported by an independent valuation."
"The divestment of our investment in PVM allows us to focus on our core wealth management capabilities," said IOOF Chief Executive Renato Mota.
Earlier this year, IOOF sold its majority stake in private wealth business Ord Minnett in a deal that brought in A$115 million ($77.7 million).
