  • Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA); FTSE 100; Financial Services
    Selling: Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA); FTSE 100; Financial Services Managing a portfolio is a lot like managing a garden. In gardening there are regular recurring tasks such as trimming back fast-growing plants and replacing unattractive plants with more attractive alternatives. In a portfolio this means regularly trimming back oversized positions and replacing unattractive holdings with more attractive alternatives. Average purchase price Current price Holding period (including investment in Aberdeen AM) £3.76 £2.90 Feb 2016 to Apr 2021 (5yrs 2mo) Capital gain Dividend income Annualised return (including return of capital from de-mergers) -13.4% 31.2% 4.0% “Standard Life Aberdeen is one of the world’s largest investment companies, the largest active manager in the UK and one of the largest in Europe. It has a significant global presence and the scale and expertise to help clients meet their investment goals.” Overview Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA) originally joined the model portfolio in 2016 as Aberdeen Asset Management, which was then the second largest active fund manager in the UK (second only to Schroders). This investment worked out well, with the 2017 merger of Aberdeen and Standard Life leading to annualised return of 17% at the merger date. I decided to hold on to the SLA shares post merger because Standard Life was a leading asset manager and the combined group promised additional economies of scale and a more diverse and robust business. Four years later and as a more experienced investor, I now think both companies lacked durable competitive advantages and I think that’s true of the combined business too.

  • WHAT ARE INVESTMENT ASSETS? • Assets Are What Your Fund Invests In
    PORTFOLIO BOND (IPS) – FUNDS KEY FEATURES 5 WHAT ARE INVESTMENT ASSETS? • Assets are what your fund invests in. • The assets that a fund invests in will have a significant impact on the performance of your investment. It’s important that you understand the differences between the main types of assets. • There are four main types of asset and each has its own characteristics: − Equities − Fixed interest securities − Commercial property − Cash. • It’s generally a good idea to invest in a number of different assets so you don’t rely on the performance of one individual asset. This strategy, called ‘diversification’, is basically what funds offer as they spread your investment across lots of assets. • Many funds also invest in more than one type of asset to create even more diversification. • Investing in a mix of funds is another good way to spread your investment. WHAT ARE EQUITIES? NOTES • Equities (also known as 'shares') are a share in a company that allows the owner of those shares to participate in any financial success achieved by • Over the short term, the that company. value of funds investing in equities can go up and • Equities can achieve growth in two ways: down a lot. − Through increases in share prices.

  • Challenging Road Ahead but Outlook Stable on Asset Manager Sector
    Elizabeth Campbell Sean C. Tillman, CFA Asset Managers Have Stable Outlook Brian Estiz, CFA Jenny Panger, CFA With Risks Balanced For 2021 Nigel Greenwood Asset Manager Outlook 2021 January 15, 2021 Key Takeaways – Our outlook on both the traditional and alternative asset managers is stable. – We return to a stable outlook (from negative) on the traditional asset managers after two years that saw 19 negative rating actions, meaning negative outlook, or downgrade, out of 32 negative rating actions and 48 total rating actions. Alternative asset managers saw 10 negative rating actions while investment holding companies rounded out the difference. – We continue to believe that alternative asset managers are better positioned vis-à-vis their traditional peers. That said, we expect the traditional asset managers credit risk to be more balanced over 2021 as accommodative monetary and fiscal policy offsets some of the industry headwinds. Our current ratings incorporate these more balanced conditions and should result in a more equal distribution of upgrades and downgrades over the year. – Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) remain a focal point. 2020 saw a series of large acquisition announcements, both within the sector and involving banks and insurance companies. While the size of the deals may taper, we expect M&A to be a key strategy in the sector as firms reach for greater scale, capital, and capabilities. – In the U.S., which represents the largest pool of assets under management (AUM) and where the majority of ratings are based, S&P Global Economists expect a 4.2% U.S. real GDP rebound in 2021, after a 3.9% contraction in 2020.
