London open: RBS, Barclays and Lloyds shrug off decline

Mon, 26th Sep 2011 08:31

The top share index has recovered partially after tumbling below the 5,000 point mark on continuing worries over the Eurozone situation. Plans by European policymakers to up the amount of funds set aside to deal with the ongoing problems in Greece have failed to reassure markets.Miners lead the slide, including precious metal specialists. Mexican silver miner Fresnillo and gold group African Barrick are prominent fallers. Banking trio RBS, Lloyds and Barclays are bucking the trend though.In company news, business publisher Reed Elsevier is to acquire the entire issued share capital of Accuity Holdings from Investcorp, a global investment firm, for a consideration of £343m payable in cash. Compliance-focused Accuity is a US provider of online subscription-based data solutions for the financial services industry. The start of the second half of the year has been a tough one for Aberdeen Asset Management, which has seen assets under management (AUM), as at the end of August, slide 4.8% to £176.9bn from £185.7bn at the end of June. Most of the fall was accounted for by market movements and foreign exchange fluctuations, which reduced AUM by £8.1bn, but the business also saw net outflows of £0.8bn. "Given the economic backdrop in Europe and the US and heightened market volatility during the last two months, Aberdeen's new business flows have been resilient," said Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive of Aberdeen. Bunzl, the international distribution and outsourcing group, has announced two small bolt-on acquisitions. The first is Ideal Global Sistemas de Higiene, a Brazilian supplier of cleaning and hygiene consumable products. The other is D-Care, based in Utrecht, which is principally engaged in the distribution of medical disposable products throughout the Netherlands.
