Mumbai: Private equity buyout groups CVC Capital Partners, Permira and EQT are in talks with Asia-Pacific-focused private equity firm PAG to buy its controlling stake in Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd (NWML), formerly Edelweiss Wealth Management, in a buyout that's potentially worth $1.6 billion, said people in the know.Competing with them is HSBC, Europe's largest bank by market capitalisation, said the people cited, in a hotly contested race, as Nuvama's role as the local trading partner of Jane Street came under investor scrutiny. India's stock market regulator has barred Jane Street from the local securities market. Nuvama's shares plunged 11% in trading, the most in three months, after the interim order - over allegations of market manipulation by Jane Street - became public on Friday.T
