Aberdeen Shelves U.S. Partnership Plans

Aberdeen Asset Management has cancelled its plans to pick a partner in the U.S.

Aberdeen Asset Management has cancelled its plans to pick a partner in the U.S., Reuters reports. The plan was called off as the firm may find it difficult to find a partner in U.S., said CEO Martin Gilbert.

Aberdeen is considering finding a partner in Japan since it is a very tough for western asset managers to break into the market. The asset manager will now focus on organic growth of its existing business.
