Scout on the Lookout for Equity, Fixed Income Buys

It's been two years and a half since Scout Investments purchased Columbus, Ind.-based fixed income shop Reams Asset Management. Now it's ready to buy more.

Andy Iseman, chief executive officer, told Money Management Executive that he's interested in augmenting the Kansas City, Mo.-based fund firm's capabilities, particularly in the "value space" on the equity side.

But Iseman emphasized that the company is looking to spend prudently.

"We're not trying to be everything," he stressed, explaining that acquisitions will be made primarily to augment the fund shop's existing specialties in equity and fixed income.
