Sold at 231p, bought back at 222p. Thanks Mr Market! 😁

[helen troy] 01/2/2024 08:14

Me too. But I've bought them back today.

Looks like a bit of profit taking, can't blame anyone seeing as I took a few quid :)

Thanks 1jat - I had assumed (rightly or wrongly) that the platform was a major contributor to the losses.

We await something formal from the company.

Skinny
What constitutes “wealth” in MNG is very different from other companies…..it includes revenues from all open products including the PruFunds business….personally I view that as part of the insurance business….strip that out and the wealth business makes considerable losses. (Aviva includes its corporate pensions auto-enrolment business which is a similarly dubious interpretation of wealth).

So for the diversified asset acquisition/managemnet groups like MNG, wealth is a management construct. It is likely the platform contributes most to the losses because it is sub-scale and has received significant investment to improve it…..they probably feel it cannot reach sufficient scale, and on a standalone basis will be loss making for some time…..
They may want to retain a platform for the advisor businesses to put their business onto, and that white labelling may be part of the sale transaction.

"Citywire understands the sale process followed a strategic review of M&G’s wealth business, although it is only the platform which is going on the market. M&G Wealth, which includes a trio of advice networks and the adviser platform, recorded a £19m loss in the first half of 2023."

Looking forward to the results and new highs.

A bullish engulfing candle for those that follow such things.

[skinny] 30/1/2024 14:12

FWIW, the previous 2 years March XD dates :-

[rongetsrich] 30/1/2024 14:01

Yes, impressed. I raised my sell price to 240.3, and could be out pre XD the roll into AV. Or LGEN, with my profits topping up TFIF.Loads of ways to skin a cat, post post XD and divi it seems to be dead money for 4/5 months.

[skinny] 30/1/2024 13:41

Meanwhile, a 2+ year high earlier @229.30p

[rongetsrich] 30/1/2024 13:37

Correct Helen, it is the Xdividend that’s been discussed. We just have no date, unless you do?

[helen troy] 30/1/2024 09:18

It's the xdivi date that was discussed

[rongetsrich] 30/1/2024 08:56

Dividendmax have the divi being paid 25 April. They're not always that accurate, but even when wrong it's usually only by a small margin.

[1jat] 29/1/2024 15:20

Citywire is reporting that the M&G Wealth Platform (previously Ascentric purchased from Royal London form £86m in 2020) is on sale.

CJAC will be pleased they look like they are quitting a loss making business…..I assume they may still want a platform to distribute PruFunds to the wider market, so it may be more of a sale and leaseback type arrangement.

I have watched with interest the robust share price here for the last 6 months with interest. With the healthy last reporting update, I believe FY results will be very promising. The fundamentals appear good moving forward and there’s always the TO chatter that could restart at any time GLA

[helen troy] 25/1/2024 21:30

I stand corrected on the x divi date. Due to the later results, it is approx 2 weeks later. Apols.

[laurence llewelyn binliner] 25/1/2024 11:14

#Helen Troy, they have been the last 2 years yes, but the results are due 21.03.2024 and 2 weeks later this year, so the XD could drop back into April...

[skinny] 25/1/2024 11:01

For those that follow such things, the MACD is looking positive again.

[helen troy] 25/1/2024 10:52

Isn't an xd day due in March? Looking at historical and dividend max?

[laurence llewelyn binliner] 25/1/2024 10:23

#Masurenguy, with a bit of luck given the results here 21.03.2024, we can get to 06.04.2024 and new ISA top up day before the next XD, there was a 8 day lag in 22 from results to XD and a 7 day lag in 23 so it will be tight, with a bit of luck the BOD will be aware on the tax year end and ISA timetable.. :o)

[masurenguy] 25/1/2024 10:12

LLB - having sold my IGG shares this morning I'm looking to redeploy those funds elsewhere. A top up here is an option but I'll wait to see if there is any retrace on a bad market day before adding here.

[luderitz] 25/1/2024 10:08

Yes this one has been one of my best performing investments recently.
