Head office in Sctlnd. CEO is Stphn Brd.
I agree. I think the choice is pathetic. The CEO says it will bring "clarity of Focus". How can a name like Aberdn possibly bring clarity of focus. Laughable! The loss of the old respected Standard Life name will IMHO be hugely damaging. The threat of removal has been damaging enough already. I sold my holding.
I'd like to think it would cause similar outrage as the recent ESL fiasco but "Investor-based" and "Power to the Investors" just won't cut it with the general population or media as much as "Fan-based" and "Power to the Fans". So we're probably stuck with it, although I agree with farhantahir.
What's everyones opinion on the new brand name? I know I have my opinions and they aren't great...
Svend I will probably take that SP.
Let's meet in the middle and say maybe a target SP of £ 3.50 by summer after all they did have a solid invasion of China in January let's hope we get some reflection and traction on that topic at the next AGM.
We live in hope and Mr.Bird.
been watching this for a while and had some funds to get in yesterday before it went ex-divi today, seems as discussed a plodder just bimbling along paying a steady dividend, as for target will have to see how it goes, but I can see it making its way back to the 330 region post summer
SLA is solid Championship material and I doubt it will gain promotion to the Premiership in my lifetime. So far as the 400 mark is concerned, it will come as no surprise to you and others on this BB if I reserve judgement!! All continue to stay safe.
You are welcome. Where I live I doubt if the pubs will be open before August earliest. Still we live in hope and perhaps we will also see SLA nearer 400 by August also.
Indeed it was coaster although somehow my "handle" is now Tune1. Thank you for remembering. Yes, SLA is a Plodder, has been for many years and, barring some financial miracle, will probably stay so for a while. But I also seem to recall I said it was a "reliable plodder". I stand by that as well. If you are happy to sit back and take the Divis (which I am), then this is the share for you. Thanks again coaster for your recollection and memory, it has made an Old Man happy! I would go and celebrate with a Pint at my Local but sadly it has yet to re-open.
I think it was" Tune " who said a long time ago that SLA was a plodder. Boy how right was he!!!
Was there a monetary settlement agreed and due to Standard in compensation to name transfer
How was the value arrived at
Was it from an independent source
Also has a new name been agreed yet
Excuse me if this information is already out there - because I've missed it
Thanks
Does anyone know when the Standard Life company name will be removed?
Opinions please if the rebranding will prove good or bad for the share price?
15 April 2021
When does this go ex div please?
Lets hope Mr.Bird can make tis fly. He has enough feathers in the game!!!
this could be the turnaround day ,up we go
Drop seems timed with the annual report date ... 11 March?
My earlier post keeps disappearing. What I said was: "Artificial dropping of price? Are the sharks circling?". All very innocuous really. Here goes posting it again.
Being artificially forced down? Are the sharks circling?
What is going on here?????????
Not sure I have much faith in the asset management side of the business. I mean, they had funds like GARS...
Tedmak - If they (asset management business) can't make money in china they can't make money anywhere so let's give management a time horizon to show if they have what it takes to play the ball or not? how long is debatable as it coincides with local obstacles.
That's the thing with a sum of the parts valuation.
It needs the market to believe the strategy will realise that value.
Selling the Indian stakes and returning the proceeds to shareholders is one means but the jury is still out on the asset management business.
