JP Morgan is finalizing a deal with a UK-based hedge fund manager, which is priced at £2 billion.

It is important to remember that JP Morgan had decided to buy the middle and back office operations of Connecticut-based fund management group Paloma earlier this year.
Details of the new deal are yet to be known. According to a spokesperson of JP Morgan group, the bank is in the process of expanding its hedge fund servicing business. It is looking for similar deals in near future.
