Looks as if the merger did little to help the SP. 8 months on and 15% down.
thanks for that info mao3 I was unaware of the new ticker
We have been trading since merger on the 14th August. You need to update their ticker as it is now SLA.
does anyone have an idea how long it will be before we are trading again
Would have expected to see an RNS. Strange.
Merger completes tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken. Onwards and upwards (although, it could be negative in the short term).
You share my sentiments entirely. Unless you are in the "business" of buying and selling and trying to second guess the market, this Share ticks all of my boxes because of the Dividends. To quote from my Wealth Manager's most recent Report, "The summer holiday season should serve as a reminder to investors of the value of doing nothing, since it is time in the market – not timing the market – which helps deliver the best returns. The less investors are tempted to chop and change their strategy in response to market noise, the fewer mistakes they are likely to make, and the greater their chances of compounded growth". Can't improve on that!
Bearing in mind we were in the 480s 2 years ago, in the 260s 1 year ago and 414 today I'm not sure what's hard to believe. Share prices move in mysterious ways, often defying rational thinking.

anybody any thoughts on Tuesday outcome
It's hard to believe we were in the 350's in April.

Interim Results due on Tuesday.
Yesterday I received my Share Purchase Statement from M&S registrars, Equiniti, confirming the purchase of additional shares under the DRIP Scheme, just 5 working days after dividend payment date and delivered to Ireland. SL registrars, Capita, on the other hand require close to a month to carry out the same process!! It makes no sense. Capita state that it is due to the amount of shares that need to be purchased and then allocated. With M&S's vast army of retail investors, I cannot imagine that Equiniti are purchasing any less, so a poor excuse and bad administration from Capita I feel. A new registrar is required by SL, hopefully Equiniti!
MA03, I think you are right. SL does seem fairly comfortable around this level. Day by Day, Penny by Penny, the Old Girl is nudging up. I'm not expecting any miracles over the coming weeks or months (famous last words!) but all invested here should be able to be assured that the BOD will always have Shareholders interests at heart.
Sorry...nosebleed.
Seems to be a bit happier being above £4 recently, usually gets a nose bleed and drops back again!
More people like the deal than the pay. Still pretty conclusive for both. Lloyds Aberdeen Scottish Life Widdows seems quite a mouthful I wonder if the apple will get eaten in small bites or in big chunks? LASLW ....... it needs a better name.
Tune1 i could not agree more I take no notice whatsoever of them except perhaps to take an opposite stance if all the sheep duly buy or sell as a result of a rating. What amazes me is how these guys hang on to their jobs and cope with the embarrassment , in most other industries they would be fired. ATB
Re comment posted by tricky1276. I always ignore these ratings. So called "Experts" have been proved wrong on so many occasions and in so many different spheres. My understanding, and I may be wrong, is that individuals, certainly in the AIM area, are often called "Rampers" or "De-Rampers". Again, always best to ignore them and use your own judgement.
Aberdeen, Standard Life shareholders approve merger Pensions & Investments-2 hours ago Aberdeen and Standard Life shareholders approve merger Property Magazine International-2 hours ago
I wonder what happens to the analysts that came up with all the broker downgrades around mid March ? resulting in a 10 % fall in the sp. Convinced these guys produce downgrades to order.
Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management shareholders are due to vote on the firms’ proposed tie-up on Monday, in a deal which could pave the way for another merger with Scottish Widows. Standard Life announced a £3.8bn takeover deal for Aberdeen Asset Management, to create an £11bn fund manager, in March. On Monday, investors from both firms will vote on whether to approve the deal, which is slated to complete on 14 August. The prospectus for the deal made clear that the combined group would have discussions on its strategic partnership with Lloyds, which owns life assurer Scottish Widows. There is therefore City speculation that a tie-up is on the cards, and the Sunday Times has today reported that Standard Life-Scottish Widows merger talks will begin this week when the shareholder vote is out of the way. Lloyds has enjoyed a close relationship with Aberdeen in recent years. Aberdeen bought asset management business Scottish Widows Investment Partnership in 2013. Under the deal, the groups agreed a “long-term strategic asset management relationship whereby Aberdeen manages assets on behalf of” Lloyds. The banking group also took a 10 per cent stake in Aberdeen as part of the deal. In March, Lloyds voiced its support for the Standard Life-Aberdeen deal, saying it “welcomes the opportunity to explore ways to build a successful relationship with the combined” group. The bank also said it had agreed, for a period of six months, to delay making decisions on whether to terminate any arrangements with Aberdeen. In their deal prospectus, the groups said: “It is the intention that the combined group will explore ways in good faith to build a successful relationship with Lloyds for the benefit of their respective customers, businesses, shareholders and other stakeholders.” Standard Life and Lloyds Banking Group declined to comment. Aberdeen has been asked for comment.
