I have just frustratingly noticed that the takeover is being looked at by the CMA. Not even a proper RNS!

This maybe underlines sometimes taking less money when its announced rather than waiting for completion. No dividend and now possibly no deal!

This seems a bit excessive for a combined Nucleus/CBP £80bn AUM given the SIPP market is worth c£500bn in the UK. UK regulators seem to be getting a bit of a reputation for being too slow and way too onerous. Seems to me that they are too often destroying value for shareholders, customers (through cost savings) and UKs tarnished reputation.

Well awaiting the deal finalisation doesn't look too smart now. Anyway decision is about 2 weeks before the Long Stop Date. Share price has obviously reflected these concerns for a while - must be a high risk of the deal not completing now.

"The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or
may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in
the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the
Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be
expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market
or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services."

[SharePad] Screening For My Next Long-Term Winner: Curtis Banks #CBP

"I do not think future growth has to be superb for the shares to stand a fair chance of outperforming the higher-rated Hargreaves Lansdown and AJ Bell."

Hi all,

My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast a few days ago and part of our discussion includes CBP which is one I noticed the other day and I think it looks pretty tempting. We also chatted about loads of other Stocks and Ideas for research. We discussed the outlook for Markets and the most likely roadmap for the next couple of months, and as usual a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing.

Anyway, if you use Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want Podcast TPI 37) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below. It is also now on Youtube.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, we try to keep them light and they are totally unscripted.

Cheers, WD

I notice that this is was effected by way of a 'cash box' structure. This can be a devious device to circumvent the pre-emption rules.

I don't hold CBP but still monitor them, following the shoddy service I received from Suffolk Life.

Investors might like to check the employee reviews on glassdoor.co.uk Of course, these may be fake and/or a disgruntled minority. However, I've found Glassdoor gives a reasonably reliable insight into companies and in general the better performing companies have better Glassdoor reviews.

CBP scores 1.8/5.0, which is poor.
Only 41% approve of the CEO
Only 8% recommend to a friend. That's really poor.

There were two reviews last month from former employees.

"If you don’t want to be valued, this is the company for you."
Former Employee - Anonymous Employee
Doesn't Recommend
Neutral Outlook
Disapproves of CEO

I worked at Curtis Banks full-time (More than 3 years)

Pros
Salary
People (not senior managers)

Cons
IT system not good enough
Senior managers don’t value their staff
Have grown too rapidly, processes not in place

"Grew fast, fell quickly"
Former Employee - Anonymous Employee in Bristol, England
Doesn't Recommend
Negative Outlook
Disapproves of CEO

I worked at Curtis Banks full-time (More than 3 years)

Pros
Nice people, good location, good Christmas parties

Cons
Lack of strategic thinking. Company expanded so quickly that some departments running inefficiently and independently, so cross company comms are poor. Mass exodus of the good staff over past two years since buying out Suffolk Life, when the rot really set in. Those left over dealing with a culture clash of trying to wedge two very different (politically and operationally) companies together. Pretty miserable stuff …

AISHAH, I've been very unimpressed with Suffolk Life too (acquired by CBP in Jan 2016). So far it's taken them nine months to move a simple SIPP. At least I can still access the cash so am still able to trade. It took them a mere six months to move my wife's SIPP, but there was a month where they held on to the cash balance (a chunky six figure sum) and didn't forward it to the new provider, in spite of being instructed to do so.

I'd dread to have to get involved with them when it comes to drawdown.

Are these delays deliberate, so they can maintain the funds under control numbers?

Wonder where the price could of been by now without the placing? Certainly much nearer 400p v the sub 300p today.

Nest and auto enrolled members are a totally different demographic and market segment compared to CB and other genuine full Sipp providers. NEST accommodates a low cost limited fund range. Full SIPPs accommodate assets that can't be homed on an investment platform such as commercial property and will remain an ideal solution for HNW and more sophisticated investors, plus clients requiring more flexible drawdown options. CB is however facing huge challenges in terms of being able to maintain its historical growth rates due to a lack of financially viable acquisition targets. Even after the plunge in share price CB's current PE suggests an expectation of continued rapid growth which simply won't happen organically.

Been on my watchlist for a while and will stay there post these results. Peel Hunt downgrades to a HOLD; reduces price target to 280p from 360p.

Yes johnv - perhaps the big seller has finished now.

Hopefully the share price will move back to the old highs.
