BOSTON (Reuters) – Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BK.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), busy integrating its merger and conserving capital for the past two years, is again ready to seek wealth management acquisitions across the United States as well as expand in several overseas markets.

BNY Mellon itself was born out of the 2007 combination of Bank of New York and Mellon Financial, the latter of which completed about 10 wealth management deals between 2001 and 2006. “We’re an educated acquirer,” Lamere said.
