- Focus on Core Competencies: Companies often divest non-core assets to focus on their core competencies. By shedding peripheral businesses or assets, they can allocate more resources, both financial and managerial, to areas where they have a competitive advantage.
- Financial Restructuring: Divesting non-core assets can generate funds that may be used to strengthen the company' s financial position. This could be particularly important during challenging economic times, to reduce debt, invest in growth opportunities, or meet other financial obligations.
- Debt Reduction: Selling non-core assets can be a strategy for reducing debt. The proceeds from the sale can be used to pay down outstanding loans, improving the company' s overall financial health and creditworthiness.
- Streamlining Operations: Divestment can lead to a more streamlined and efficient operation. This might involve getting rid of underperforming or less profitable segments of the business, allowing the company to focus on its more lucrative ventures.
- Strategic Repositioning: Companies might divest non-core assets as part of a broader strategic repositioning. This could involve exiting certain markets or industries to reallocate resources to more promising opportunities that align with the company' s long-term vision.
- Risk Mitigation: Diversification into non-core areas can expose a company to additional risks. By divesting such assets, a company can reduce its exposure to risks that are not integral to its primary business.
- Mergers and Acquisitions (M& A): In the context of mergers and acquisitions, a company might divest certain assets to comply with regulatory requirements or to focus on areas where there is minimal overlap with the acquiring company.
- Market Conditions: External market conditions, industry trends, or technological advancements may prompt a company to divest non-core assets to stay agile and adapt to changing environments.

that it doesn' t already own, saying the purchase will cost it S$1.28 billion (US$802 million).OCBC said the offer is a premium of 14.4% over Great Eastern' s average closing share price of S$13.99 for the month before the offer was announced.
OCBC is the smallest of Singapore' s three major lenders by market capitalization and has been losing ground to DBS Group Holdings Ltd. and United Overseas Bank Ltd.
OCBC Chief Executive David Conner said there have been encouraging results over the past two years as the bank and Great Eastern, the biggest insurer in Singapore and Malaysia by assets, have been " cross-selling" each other' s products.
" We would like to see more of the value coming to OCBC Bank' s shareholders," he said. " Therefore, we believe that increasing our stake in Great Eastern is a logical and appropriate strategic step to take."
The takeover will be funded by recent asset sales.

TEMASEK Trust will acquire financial advisory firm MoneyOwl, giving it a second lease of life barely three months since it announced that it would wind down the business.
Temasek Trust, Temasek&rsquo s philanthropic arm, signed an expression of interest with NTUC Enterprise Co-operative on the proposed acquisition of MoneyOwl, including its financial planning intellectual property and technology platforms. NTUC Enterprise owns MoneyOwl, which was launched in 2018 to provide comprehensive financial planning services comprising financial planning, investments, insurance and will writing.
A statement on Tuesday (Nov 28) said Temasek Trust is keen to acquire MoneyOwl &ldquo to develop targeted products and solutions to better meet the needs of community groups such as essential workers, gig workers and youths&rdquo .
According to the statement, the new plans for MoneyOwl will be funded with a &ldquo catalytic capital approach where the initial funds will de-risk the new business model to unlock its potential and attract partners from across the public, private, and philanthropic sectors to drive the financial well-being of community groups&rdquo .
This is expected to strengthen the business model and create opportunities for MoneyOwl to deliver impact and value on a larger scale.
Chuin Ting Weber, MoneyOwl chief executive and chief investment officer, said: &ldquo MoneyOwl shares Temasek Trust&rsquo s strategic vision of driving the common good. A repurposed MoneyOwl under Temasek Trust will move away from the direct retail sale of commercial products.&rdquo
