Some proposed changes

BrightSphere was known as OM Asset Management plc, or OMAM, until 2018. OM Asset Management, also referred to as Old Mutual Asset Management, was known as United Asset Management (UAM) until 2000.

UAM was founded in 1980 by Norton Reamer, who previously had served as the CEO of Putnam Investments. UAM was the first major firm with a business model that consisted of purchasing a number of money management firms.

 * It is not clear whether BrightSphere meets WP:NORG requirements. As notability is not inherited, this newer company should demonstrate its own notability rather than simply inheriting the notability of its predecessor. That demonstration may take place during a requested move.
 * Thus, the request to change this article's title should be submitted using the  template specifically as a controversial move request process requiring discussion amongst the wider community.
 * A controversial requested move typically takes about 7 days to complete. Before taking this step, please ensure that you are acquainted with the requested move process by thoroughly reviewing its procedures. More information can be found at requested moves.
