Recently produced league table of fund manager performance. Just FYI.

Given that there are at least ten FTSE 100 companies with a market cap smaller than SJP, heading straight back out of the FTSE 100 feels unlikely 🙄

This is heading straight back out of the ftse 100 😂😂 what happened to the institutions who's ftse 100 tracker funds are supposed to buy the shares. There is no enthusiasm for the ftse at all. Every single day there are reports of nervousness somewhere in the world or waiting for data regarding something. Its pathetic.

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.

So whats going on here. Upgrades everywhere buy recommendations all over the shop and down nearly 5% in 5 days. MM making a fortune here

[jakleeds] 14/12/2024 22:54:06

Indeed, I hope you all managed to get some at or around that price. Rated as a buy at Deutsche Bank recently too.

[wbodger] 10/12/2024 17:02:57

Jak, you were talking it down when the price was £4-ish Hope no one listened then, they'd have missed the 100% gain.

The key is compulsory, not voluntary redundancies.

[tim 3] 06/12/2024 00:23:09

Agree dex have seen many firms do this and the best staff are the ones they lose.

[jakleeds] 06/12/2024 00:00:50

They already have about 200 contractors dealing with complaints. They are inundated, drowning, with so much to deal with.

I suspect they will try to keep many of the 500 staff they are making redundant, on as contractors. So much cheaper, no sick pay, no pension contributions, no paid holidays , etc etc.

It’s SJP. They are being forced to lower their charges from July next year. Apparently they’ve lost around 330 advisers in the last year. Wow.

This is a massive disaster still waiting to happen.

[dexdringle] 05/12/2024 19:12:45

SJP have far too many 'managers' on the staf - most earning way too much money. They can lose 500 of those without even noticing.

My fear though is that they will instead lose 500 lower paid people. Typically the ones who actually know what they are doing and who actually do all of the work !

[cherryandwhite1] 05/12/2024 17:37:29

This will fall out of the ftse 100 before it even gets in there. 🤣🤣

[jakleeds] 02/12/2024 10:31:31

SJP making 500 people redundant in Feb 25 !! That’s a big cut

[dexdringle] 29/11/2024 14:14:36

I cannot understand why SJP didn't simply create a Real Estate Investment Trust (or similar).

Open ended property funds are always a liquidity disaster.

[the millipede] 29/11/2024 12:22:34

There is only one investment house that has never been forced to restrict withdrawals from property funds (Royal London, if you are interested). Agree it is a good idea not to offer them.

[tim 3] 27/11/2024 20:00:58

Good property funds never a good idea

AJ BELL reported record funds under management.. Only waybis up for market now.. lot of money slushing around...

[action] 17/10/2024 09:07:31

Record fund under management in 3rd qtr ...1000p now on cards... May be even 1200p....

[wbodger] 16/10/2024 17:59:34

Charts above are spectacular since about April.

[dexdringle] 16/10/2024 09:53:10

£12 was too high. £4 was too low.

£8 is the Goldilocks number.

[action] 16/10/2024 08:18:53

800p reached. Now 900p

[dexdringle] 15/10/2024 14:51:07

Perhaps we are building up to a takeover with someone accumulating all the way up from £4 ? 🤔

[fillipe] 15/10/2024 13:46:16

795.5p now being regularly paid.
