Fund manager Pradera is looking at options which could include a sale of the business.
It has appointed M&A advisory firm, Berkshire Capital, to look at finding a buyer or strategic investment in the business.
Paul Whight remains the controlling shareholder in the company, which began life as Pradera-AM, to act as a specialist management company for European retail property funds.
The company, now led by chief executive James Bury, currently has €2bn (£1.7bn) under management across four discretionary funds investing in shopping centres and retail warehouses.
Pradera also manages assets for segregated mandates and invests alongside partners on a joint venture basis.
All parties declined to comment.
