Hopefull the trading statement (incl AUM update) due on 17th will help put a floor under SL, and maybe even be the start of a re-rating cycle
Platforms are a scale business so merger of two books onto common platform should generate some economies of scale Also I expect other platforms will also give up struggle to generate profit over time More generally I see SL generating increasing benefits from the pensions schemes it has now signed up Also as capital intensive traditional products slowly reduce this will release capital Post the Ignis acquisition, Canada business sale and now Axa platform purchase there is also prospect of SL being more highly rated as an asset manager Remain holder of SL
Capital return Another attractive trait about these three insurers is the fact that that they have a history of returning excess capital to shareholders. Take Standard Life for example. Over the past five years, the company has returned 79.8p per share to investors via regular dividends. That's almost a quarter of the current share price. During the next two years, city analysts expect the company to return an additional 41p per share to investors or 13% of the current share price. Standard life's shares currently support a dividend yield of 5.7% and trade at a forward P/E of 11.9.
Standard Life Plc (SL) Earns "Equal weight" Rating from Barclays NewsWay 21 - 35 minutes ago
Possibly but with the support of the Greens the SNP would still be in a position to push for a second referendum. I think they are unlikely to do however.
Noticed that the SNP fell short of an overall majority in the Scottish election. Does this mean that less likely to be another Scottish independence referendum whatever the EU referendum result?
Starting to look cheap now for the longer term holder. A cracking divi to be had and I can only see a steady rise from here.

As an IFA it is interesting to see that Standard are indicating they will increase charges at Axa Elevate. I am sure they have done their numbers on... if we charge clients on Elevate the same as Standard platform we will do very well. Unfortunately, times have changed and with IFAs reviewing clients once to twice per year it will be easy to move to a different provider/technology platform and all that profit goes with it. I also suspect business flows at Elevate will dry up due to uncertainty. My guess, the first couple of years results might be good but followed by disappointment.

Wrong board!!!
LIkely that depressed earnings from ADM will weigh on SL. Can't see them recovering until we get through Brexit and get sight of 1st half figures.
FYI, SL made announcement at final results, that they would no longer issue AUM updates on a quarterly basis.
