Talk is that the 42 village ING group may be in play sooner rather than later after Sir Ron Brierleys Mercantile Investment Company purchased 5% of the $580 million investment trust (figures include US and NZ assets). Being a veteran takeover merchant, Sir Ron could well reawaken the investment sector to retirement.

Things could happen fast for ING.
