Anima Holding, an Italian asset manager, will start canvassing investor interest in its initial public offering as soon as next week, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
Anima, owned by private equity firm Clessidra SGR SpA, may seek to be valued at about 1.5 billion euros ($2 billion), said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. About 55 percent of the Milan-based company will be sold to investors, the people said. Marketing may begin as soon as March 17, they said.
