Reuters is considering selling a number of its assets, according to reports. Trading for Fixed Income, the electronic trading platform which deals in bonds, is one of the subsidiaries the UK-listed group may dispose of to gain regulatory approval for its proposed merger with Canadian rival Thomson. Two financial databases, Reuters Estimates and Reuters Fundamentals, could also be sold off. The McGraw-Hill-owned group, and FactSet, listed in New York, are prospective buyers in the event of a sale.
