Schroders dazzles with unexpected profits http://www.whatinvestment.co.uk/making-money/share-dealing/news/1203398/market-update-am-schroders-dazzles-with-unexpected-profits.thtml

Here's the first. JPMorgan says in a note that Schroder's adjusted group pretax profit for 2009 of 200.2 million pounds was ahead of its estimate, and ahead of the company compiled consensus of 190.8 million pounds, although well down on 2008's figure of 290.5 million pounds. The broker notes that flows were much stronger than anticipated in the fourth-quarter of 2009 and the company highlighted a strong start to the current year. As a result, JPMorgan has materially increased its net flows estimates for 2010 to 11.7 billions pounds, up from 6.2 billion which, together with the better than expected 2009 results and stronger equity markets in the last few weeks, leads it to materially raise its 2011 EPS forecast.

This should keep us moving in the right direction. "However, 2010 has started well with high levels of net inflows in Institutional and Intermediary and we see further significant organic growth opportunities longer term, based on strong investment performance for clients, a broad product range, a proven distribution capability and a geographically diversified business."

Record inflows reported today which will translate into higher fee income. Fund managers like this are an excellent way to play a bull market.

There is a trend for banks and financial institutions to merge and be bought out, so how about Shroders!

[finess] 15/10/2007 09:53

Takeover, if they sell the investment arm whats left. A good short if it dont go, you would need B---s.

Schroders provided the session's speculative focus. In above-average trading volumes, shares in the fund management group jumped 5.7 per cent to a seven-year high of £15. There were several explanations, according to traders. One was that Schroders might sell its investment arm to focus on private banking, another that Schroders might look to sell several of its lower-margin businesses such as fixed income. However, market professionals believed the rise owed more to buying from US institutions. Harris Associates, the activist US fund, is one of Schroders' biggest shareholders with a 9 per cent stake. They also pointed out that plans for a flat rate of capital gains tax (18 per cent) could tempt the Schroders family to sell some of its holding.
