MC...you make some valid points, but I take a different view...however, I think the Rep. of Ireland over played their hand and dislike their leader immensely. David Davis achieved zilch in over a year. so a better deal is impossible with an alternative to May's deal (not 100% the best). I was quite happy with life before Cameron's silly move to try and see off the minority Euro-sceptics, and Farage...it failed, and was a big mistake. Boris J. wants to build a bridge to Ireland...is he real? His Thames Estuary airport deal had more promise, but major International airlines would avoid it. Also never saw a concrete plan from any of the Brexit team other than "let's take a chance...don't worry" as we don't really know what will happen. Liam Fox comes up short in my estimation, and US trade deal with the US with that crazy/unpredictable man Trump is unlikely..America First!! To be honest the EU needs us and Merkle was stupid to play it too tough with Cameron, and they will see virtues belatedly. However, I think we can work through the current problems although tonight it may look as though there is limited hope of some common sense.
Back on SLA, I only wish to see an improved, calm and positive business climate which can get us off this Brexit saga, PDQ. The business community including the retail sector appear behind the deal in support, and hopefully some clarity will help confidence, and a more certain outlook. MC...my sincere good wishes.
Chessman 2....I like your expectation for SLA over the next 12 months...endorse that 100%

Has France ever won a battle? -oh yes a few by Napoleon. After that defeat after defeat until bailed out by others.

The interesting point is that we were assured, no promised, that we would never have an European army and yet here we now are with Macron and Merkle saying yes we must have one.

The recent comments from the French finance minister also destroy the 2016 Remain case.

It will be interesting to see how the forthcoming Italian finance problem will be sorted.

In any event we will never again be trusted with another referendum. The Scots would want one as well.

Back to SLA now. I am a lot under water, several feet in fact, but my SL SIPP is holding up. I'm clearly a glass half full man as I see us hitting 350/400 within the next 12 months.

So it looks like there will be a vote of confidence as Boris/Jacob wind up the action....this WILL be a disaster, and look for a very negative reaction in the markets...you have been warned...business wants the deal on offer, period. I would never vote for a party lead by Johnson or another of that team. The choice is either some mechanism to get back into the EU, or accept this deal....Boris would cause the Tory Party to collapse, and you would get Corbyn.

rathlindri....I totally agree with you...all those guys (idiots) aligned with Farage as you say....set up your own party and see what support if much you will achieve. I was so annoyed by their antics plus David Davis,Bill Cash,IDS, and a few others over many years and always a minority in the Tory party...75% of those sitting in Parliament as MP's did not want Brexit. BUT, my point to MCuncliffe is that we are where we are and best to get on with it as per the deal on offer. I cannot see the logic of the Brexit mob trying to fight for a clean exit...it wont happen...they have not got the numbers. It is all about their self interest and egos and to get Boris in to replace May. That would be a disaster and would fail the country as he is not up to the job...what a mess he made at the Foreign Office. The only remote chance of a change from what is now in front of us is a Peoples Vote...then you may get a situation like when playing sissors, brick, hand...best of one, NO best of three, No best of 5.....it would devide the country even more. So get behind May and vote this deal through like it or not...NOTHING will be better as nothing better can be achieved unless you believe in miracles. Labour would have us tied in forever without any input/control in decisions.

The referendum should never have been called. The leave vote was based on mistruths and lies put about by the likes of Boris, Farage, Rees Mogg etc. We should be given the opportunity to take a second vote before we plunge into the abyss now that we know the TRUTH. What a holy mess we have coming down the line now....

cyberian, I respect your knowledge of the market generally and SLA in particular - your posts on here confirm such knowledge.

However, on the Brexit point you've nicely slipped-in I must respond in the exact same way that I emailed my m.p. this morning:

xxxxxx (name of my m.p.)
I'll keep this short and to the point.

WE VOTED OUT in the referendum.

Please consider that when Mrs May's cobbled deal is presented to you and your fellow m.p.'s - OUR representatives.

This transition period deal without a unilateral ability on our part to exit fully during/at the end of the period places us in a worse position than that before the referendum. At least in the past we could have a vote in the U.K. and decide - ourselves - to leave.

Or so I thought xxxxxx (name of my m.p.).

We all have our views cyberian, and whilst I accept you'd have preferred to remain I voted to leave. That night, I counted the votes in my local area. We had a serious majority for OUT insofar as the votes I counted/checked. That said, the country as a whole had a majority for out so we should be.........out.

Maybe the markets will like the deal Mrs May has proposed.

MCuncliffe 1...not so sure that is the case but you maybe partly right...there will be some loss due to losing the large Scottish Widows management which was large but according to SLA management is/was low margin and only accounted for 5% of revenues. The company has instigated a number of new investment vehicles and is cutting huge costs, so the jury is out on future earnings, but sense that they will hold up quite well. Therefore with new Chairman coming on Board, I re-invested/covered my 7/8 consolidation with cash received, and bought back in at 260p to hopefully ride the recovery in sentiment, backed by 95% of brokers targets/analysis etc. So, we will see if judgement and confidence is justified in coming months. The Brexit factor is interesting and could have an effect but cannot see how Boris/Jacob and gang can change the dynamics with just 40 votes...where would that leave them unless they formed a new party to garner any support for a more extreme exit...I doubt it. A new vote would only worsen the situation, and Labour would be left embracing the EU without any influence and lose much support from their ranks in the North and eleswhere. It would have been better to stay in as I had always said but the current deal looks the best option, as alternatives would be even more disruptive.
Finally on the advfn trade feed, I see that on ITV they suddenly jumped the sell volume by over 11,000,000 shares without any connection or reference to specific trades...I guess their software has a bug?

What will happen to the share price after the buy backs? Are they not effectively holding up the price in the wake of selling temporarily?

Are there any profit/dividend forecasts? That should give an idea if the share price can be underpinned?

A few Insurance stocks are down but is this now just asset management?

I believe the buy-back is, in part, to solve the problem of falling revenues and profits and with fewer shares attrcating a dividend next year the div. per share will be up on this year but with 12.5% fewer shares owned (unless one bought more shares with the recent cash return) the overall value will be lower than this year.

Probably with the full year results which are due on 13th March 2019 according to the SLA website. As for the amount, who knows? The table above provided by Chinese Investor shows an increase in both interim and final dividends every year, but you know the old adage of past and future performance...

When do SLA announce what the final dividend will be. Do you think it will be above 14.3p?? TIA

I have cashed in some pension pots and the only company who let me do the entire thing online was Standard Life at the back end of 2016. I was cashing in another pot at the same time and by the time I got their initial paperwork 8 days later all the Standard Life payment has been dealt with , money in the bank and P45 in hand.

advfn...yet again shows a jump on recorded sells of over 200,000 without corresponding back-up against the "number" shown before "latest trades feed"...really odd as no trades shown that record that jump. Looks as though some may elect to day trade as the swings are sufficient to make a profitable turn...but who knows this could suddenly jump 10p on a sudden favourable change in sentiment.

Yes Cyberian without RNS or at least strong rumours of change. It will be interesting as things unfold over next 5 months :-)). I certainly will have funds available if things become interesting

My company's group pension recently moved to Sla. My experience is ok. However my experience of transferring a pension from aviva to my sipp account was a nightmare due to aviva dragging heels, telling me duff information and passing me from pillar to post.. I find most of these companies are not geared for modern customer service.

Hi all, I'm new to this board, I came here because of an unequivocal BUY recommendation today, by Edmond Jackson (ii writer) who has had a good run since I started reading his pieces. I rejected SLA a while back after digging into some industry sources. I've pasted a snippet below to give a flavour of what I mean. The thing that still worries me is this. What exactly is SLA doing to stem the fall in Assets Under Management? I just don't get the strategy.

I might buy though, just as a trade.

The snippet (source at the bottom):-
Are the mighty Standard Life, an ex-employer of mine, becoming increasingly irrelevant? I know they push their wrap account - but its not really price competitive, they have their SL Aberdeen Investment arm (but &#163119 billion+ out the back door as Lloyds pulling the ex - SWI mandate and the liquidation by clients of the faltering GARs/SIA funds) - and no real evidence of any 'out-performance'.
Their website says "Standard Life is a life savings company. We are part of a bigger group called Standard Life Aberdeen plc. The group's purpose is to help clients invest for their future". Is that enough these days though? What is their 'Why?' Their latest strapline is "There's a lot to look forward to" but, given our experience of Phoenix Life's quality and speed of administration, for a traditional life/pension customer, somehow I doubt that.....
I have administrators who will happily take an unpaid day off instead of speaking with [Phoenix Life]. No joking.

tornado12...I guess you meant "return to 320Pp WITHOUT positive company RNS. Just one final point is I wonder how many of bb posters have noticed that ADVFN on the "trade" feed, somehow jump a few hundred thousand shares on the sell side,sometimes in the late morning and now just again...if you trail back the trade number when the jump occurs you will see what I mean...it has happened everyday for a couple of weeks or so and maybe influences more sells?? All very odd and can't see a reason to explain the event.
My example over the trade volume is when you look at Most recent trade feed and trade 3072 it has volume at 1,576,665 , and then look at the previous trade feed and look at trade 3072 it has volume against it of 1,221,976.....so where did those extra sells of 352,000 come from? It looks like a software error on the part of ADVFN, but the exaggerated sells volume may not help sentiment?

The key word for the moment is patience. With this and some positive results at next update I expect the share price to turn the corner & they strongly maintain the dividend. I don’t see any obvious return to 320p mark with positive company RNS

So under valued but any attempt at a rally fails to hold...all rather surprising as can see no reason for relatively small sells. The day when this share re-establishes itself is becoming impossible to predict, and somewhat at a loss to understand with Director buys at a decent level and of course the huge funds available for buy-backs. Anyway nothing really to add so will just shut up (pointless to post as nothing new to add) and maybe add in the event of any further falls at 260p level...fundamentals look OK, although management could come up with some unexpected positive initiative...who knows? These shares should be at least 320p based on all the recent issues but they are not...we are where we are as they say!
