Liberum: SJP remains ‘desperately undervalued’
St James’s Place (STJ) may have enjoyed a strong rally but the shares are still undervalued versus its potential, says Liberum.

Analyst Rae Maile retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of £14 on the Citywire Elite Companies A-rated wealth management group, which was trading up 8.1% at £10.05 on Thursday morning after a strong final quarter took assets to a record £190bn.

Gross flows in the final three months of 2024 represented the strongest quarter of the year at £5.5bn, with net inflows of £1.5bn, making it the strongest quarter since the beginning of 2023.

‘The introduction of new pricing structures will come in the next few months and a concern has been that this would mean a hiatus in business production,’ said Maile.

‘There has been no hiatus. The new pricing structure will be simpler and comparable to peers. The old pricing structure has delivered growth well ahead of industry peers over the last 30 years.’

He said it was hard to see that the ‘new and improved’ charges should ‘do worse than the old and inferior’.

‘This underpins the company’s target of doubling cash profits by 2030,’ said Maile.

‘The shares have rallied hard from a too-low base but remain desperately undervalued compared with the potential of the company.’

Lovely 101p STJ upward stride today.

Well, nothing goes up and up forever.

But yes, jak, I did profit from the overdone fall, and got out from a £11 average to break even. (Sorry for taunting earlier, just pleased to have got back so quickly.)

Is this back in the FTSE100 again? Looking for a new re-entry price around £7.5, which should be a solid floor. Might wait to see results, especially divi going forward.

They trailed that in the Finals last year, in October.

You could argue that if these results were better than the market expected they should be using all of the cash to buy back shares in a Tender Offer to reduce the shares in circulation. With fewer shares in issue future dividends could be restored to previous levels more quickly.

I would have preferred that. I am already kicking myself for timidity averaging down - if I had risked twice as much averaging down I would be close to break-even at current share price

Knowing dividends would recover, albeit lower than previously, would have created buying pressure for the shares, and not many shareholders would have missed the six pence [interim] dividend this year. (Why pay taxable divis when the money is needed in the business.)

The market already thought the drop was overdone.

I see that they have decided to split equally between buybacks and divi. A kind of hedge I suppose.
Anyway good to see the market response.

Agree. Using open ended funds for direct property investment is silly. Similar liquidity issue to private equity (Woodford).

I think only Royal London have managed to make this sort of property fund work/ have never had to stop withdrawals. St James Place are in very good company.

Anyway, STJ share price doing alright. :-)

Thanks. Would also be interesting to know if any part of this fee is returned from STJ in the event of an advice refund.

Merchants trust sells SJP citing potential client confusion over fee overhaul

Investment trust Merchants sells SJP as managers warn of ‘operational difficulties, customer and partner confusion and further regulatory intervention’.

The strong post-pandemic performance of a £792.1m investment trust stalled last year after it suffered a double blow from the intervention of the FCA against two of its holdings.

Fund managers Simon Gergel, Richard Knight and Andrew Koch took the ‘difficult decision’ to sell St James’s Place (SJP) from investment trust Merchants (MRCH) after the FCA forced the national advice firm to overhaul its charges.

The company, which Merchants had held since 2018, subsequently set aside £426m to refund clients who had paid for but not received ongoing advice – a move that required SJP to halve its dividend.

The managers ditched the stock before then but, with the shares going on to halve in the 12 months to 31 January, Merchants reported SJP’s woes had knocked 1.1% of its annual return.

Writing in the annual report, they said the new business model would be good for consumers and ultimately might shore up SJP’s market position, but in the short to medium term would create big risks and uncertainties.


‘There is a lengthy delay until the changes take effect, and in the meantime there are risks of operational difficulties, customer and partner confusion, and further regulatory intervention,’ they said.

‘Investors must also become comfortable with a very material step down in cash generation when the new model begins, before growing relatively strongly in the following years. This unusual profile of cash generation creates additional uncertainty.’

Wealth manager Close Brothers also weighed on the portfolio, knocking 0.7% off Merchants’ annual return after the FCA launched a review of historic commissions paid by the company for selling car finance that could have ‘a material impact on the company’.

‘Other issues, such as the impact of lower asset prices in its wealth management business, are more normal, cyclical concerns. But the combination of events this year had a major impact on the shares,’ said the management trio.

In what chair Colin Clark called a ‘disappointing’ setback after good returns in the previous two years, the £789m trust dropped 2.5%, trailing a modest 1.9% increase in the FTSE All-Share. That was despite some positive performances from other holdings, including high street fashion chain Next, builders Redrow and Bellway and distribution company DCC.


Merchants’ record remains strong, with the latest data at 8 April showing net asset value (NAV) growth of 25.3% and 46.6% over three and five years, respectively, ahead of the All-Share’s 21.8% and 27.2%.

A recent weakening in the shares has seen them slip to a 3.6% discount to NAV, reducing shareholder returns to 19.1% and 39.4% over three and five years.

Despite the stock setbacks, income from the portfolio was strong, with revenue earnings per share rising 6.3% to a record 30.5p.

This enabled the board to declare a final dividend of 7.1p, giving a total payout for the year of 28.4p, up 2.9% on the 27.6p paid in the previous year. The 5%-yielding ‘dividend hero’ of the Association of Investment Companies has now paid a consistently rising dividend for 42 years.
