Big chunky 3m UT at 727 dragging the price down at close.
Be interesting to see what it opens at on Mon.

Interesting how stable the share price has been the past few weeks. Everything else seems very volatile.

Yes, the share price is doing okay relative to its recent lows.

Relative to its 2 year high, not so much.

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. :-)

Quality DEI hire though. That must be worth a few pence on the share price as the 'woke / sustainable' funds will be filling their boots on that news 🤣

BlackRock have increased from 6.36% to exactly 10%. Now holding over 500 million shares.

Do we think BlackRock are stupid ? Or might they know a bargain when they see one ?

I'm am, though, surprised we haven't seen some more positive movement in the share price when this was announced. Mind you, sentiment is so poor here that, even if Warren Buffet announced he'd bought 20%, I doubt we'd see much movement 🤣

St James Place complaints to dominate trading update
Published: 12:04 26 Apr 2024 BST
Written by: Philip Whiterow

St James's Place PLC
LSE:STJ

St James Place will be hoping it can soon draw a line under the surge in customer complaints about the wealth manager's charges.

Analysts are not certain it will be able to, not yet anyway, with a prediction by one broker recently that a £426 million provision is likely to be around HALF THE AMOUNT FINALLY REQUIRED.

St James’ share price is down by around two-thirds over the past year, underlining the market’s nervousness and the costs issue will dominate next week’s update.

Longer-term, Canadian bank RBC remains optimistic about St James's Place's future, citing the resilience and attractiveness of its partnership model.

The firm's strategic initiatives under new chief executive Mark Fitzpatrick were commended for positioning the business for sustainable leadership in the increasingly regulated UK wealth market.

How well those initiatives are doing will be something else to note.

《《 298;《RBC has deviated from other analysts in downgrading SJP from a ‘buy’ recommendation to ‘hold’ and cutting its share price target for the national advice business from 950p per share to 500p》》》》

I love how these 'experts' change their share price forecasts AFTER the event. What about all the people who followed their previous target of £9.50 ?

Then they talk about SJP being a possible bid target without mentioning at what price they think that bid might come. I'm sure if a £7.50 bid appears they'll increase their target to....£7.50 🤣.

Mind you, I can't imagine long term holders being very happy with £7.50 with the shares having been £17 two years ago.

In the absence of any sort of positivity, the shares here continue to languish.

SJP staff have shares (and share options) which must be miles under water at these prices. Many SJP partners also own significant numbers of shares (not least those 'earned' as zero cost options masquerading as performance bonuses).

I imagine the mood amongst both groups is sombre.

At least it's good news for the new CEO who is starting from a low base. If he gets the share price back up to £10 he'll be a hero despite that still being only 60% of the previous peak.

PS I remember the activist investor a few years ago bought in and was slating the board for the £10 share price at the time not reflecting the true value. And for paying themselves too much. I wonder what that activist is thinking now.....

St James’s Place issued an update on new business inflows and funds under management for the three months ended 30 September 2022. It was another strong quarter for St. James's Place, gross inflows were £4.05 billion, only modestly lower than a record comparative period in 2021. Retention remained very strong, supporting net inflows of £2.19 billion and contributing to funds under management closing the period at £143.14 billion down from £148.06 billion a year earlier. The fall was due to investment performance given the ongoing bear markets in both bonds and equities. Share price is down over 40% so far in this bear market, valuation is starting to look more reasonable with forward PE ratio at 14.3x. But the macro environment continues to pose risks to markets, the share price remains in a correction which could extend significantly. STJ is a share to monitor for now.

St. James's Place plc is a United Kingdom-based company which is engaged in wealth management business. The Company operates investment vehicles, such as unit trusts. It invests in these directly, but also indirectly through products offered by its subsidiaries. The Company's business is a vertically integrated business providing support to its clients through the provision of financial advice and assistance through its partner network, and financial solutions, including wealth management products, such as insurance bonds, pensions, unit trust and investment savings accounts (ISA) investments, and a discretionary fund management (DFM) service. Its products and services include investment; retirement planning; inheritance tax planning; social care planning; private clients; intergenerational wealth management, which is about how families use their collective wealth to support each other during their lifetimes; banking and mortgages; and advice for businesses, among others.

STJ today issued an update on new business inflows and funds under management for the three months ended 30 September 2022. Gross inflows were a very solid £4.05b down a touch from the £4.32b a year earlier which was a record comparative period in 2021. However, retention remained very strong supporting net inflows of £2.19 billion during the quarter. This was impressive performance given the economic and market backdrop and also relative to many investment management competitors who are reporting net outflows through 2022.

Funds under management closed the period at £143.14 billion down from £148.06 billion a year earlier, the drop is fully accounted for by softer investment performance as both equities and bonds extend their bear markets. Plainly there are still risks to AUM over the next 12 months or more. The UK economy may already be in recession and this recession could last through much of 2023. Much of the global economy is also sliding towards contraction with de-risking across global markets ongoing as liquidity is withdrawn from the system.

The share price has already corrected around 40% from last year’s highs. Valuation is starting to look a little more reasonable accordingly with forward PE ratio down to around 14.3x. But this is still bottom quartile for the IB & IS sector where share prices have been falling across the board. Near term there is little reason to buy. Share price remains in a correction for now and lacks positive momentum and there could be more significant downside ahead if market conditions deteriorate. STJ is a solid wealth manager with decent 5.7% dividend yield, but it is a share to monitor for now.



Bull point: still reporting solid net inflows, reasonable valuation

Bear point: still in a correction, macro threat to markets

Buy levels: monitor for now

Sell levels: monitor for now
