Standard Life Aberdeen Share Discussion Threads

Nick, if you read the last statement, the risks are made very clear.
There was one line in particular that stuck out to me,
which I highlighted at the time.

Appreciate some may think I'm being overly cautious here,
however judging by some of the posts, not sure people realise potential headwinds.

First and foremost, SLA is now focussed on asset management, it's
really not an insurance company any longer.

Are there any profit forecasts for the year ahead? The High Yield at this level sounds attractive but could be cut if earnings slip?

21.6p / 307p

Just imagine what would happen if we get deal brexit ,

[wilksey1] 28/9/2018 13:54

got a reply this is what they said

Hi Steven – no it’s not finished, we’ve currently done about £100m of £175m, however, we have suspended the buyback in recognition of the fact that the Standard Life Aberdeen plc interim dividend was paid on 25 September and that the purchase of shares for the associated DRiP scheme would commence at that time. In order to avoid any ‘competition’ for shares we have suspended the share buyback and will recommence later in October.

Best wishes

Paul

[wilksey1] 28/9/2018 13:01

[mavis5] 28/9/2018 13:00

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks a a good time to invest divis from elsewhere to buy a few more SLA

[scrwal] 28/9/2018 12:42

Trading was temporarily suspended on the Italian banks so that's why financial shares dived.

[scrwal] 28/9/2018 12:27

Think it's to do with the Italians re their budget, and insurance companies re RSA results causing most financials to drop again. The RSA results should have been anticipated by the market as Direct Line had already flagged the effects of the winter in their interims back in August.

[chinese investor] 28/9/2018 12:04

Future possible interest rate rises ?

[mavis5] 28/9/2018 12:00

Bad day - anybody know why?

[fenners66] 27/9/2018 23:58

What % of shares can be sold via a placing ?
Is there a different % applied to companies on Aim ?

[essentialinvestor] 27/9/2018 18:27

Buy backs, b shares etc, are arguably incidental.

Either SLA stem AUM declines, otherwise the shares are expensive,
rather than cheap.

[scrwal] 27/9/2018 18:07

I suppose a placing is made if the company only wants to raise a proportionately small sum compared to market value and it is easier to do it this way to a few larger holders who would be willing to pay up with no need for underwriting costs etc.
In many ways a rights issue is done via the market as the rights are normally traded for a couple of weeks after they are issued before the holder stumps up for the balance to acquire the shares.
The buy back tends to be via the market probably because of the size and institutional investors not wanting to sell. Technically some purchases would be off market if the company operated a purchase scheme where you bought shares from the company and it administered the scheme and you were given the option to sell at possibly an advantageous price

[pierre oreilly] 27/9/2018 11:34

Could anyone advise as to why, when companies sell shares, they almost always do it via rights/ placings i.e. off market, but when they buy, they almost always do it as a buyback, i.e via the market? Tia

[meijiman] 27/9/2018 10:07

Maybe fattie has attacked spotty with a niblick.

[wilksey1] 27/9/2018 09:58

[mcunliffe1] 27/9/2018 09:49

Still golfing.

[wilksey1] 27/9/2018 09:34

another day with no notification of transaction in own shares.

[2hoggy] 26/9/2018 09:22

To sell or not to sell that is the question when I see what happened to my national grid shares after them using our money to buy back shares???
