Their total assets under management gained 8% in just a few months this year apparently.
That would be astonishing performance if I read it right. Justifies the price rise in large part I guess0 -

Wouldn't that be largely down to the general rise in asset prices in the last few months.0 -
Thats a good point I guess i was presuming they hedge out market moves but maybe they dont.
I know market is a big thing for them as in 2009 it was a major concern that stocks were low and SL liable to pay out anyway. To the extent SL had 3bn cash ? and was valued at 3bn (130p or 1/3 of now)
They had already said at the time we hedged the entire market, in this case I doubt they are still operating a hedge against the market. But accounting wise surely they discount it for accurate comparison. I guess normal fund managers dont as they are taking a percentage in fees so an inflated market is a bonus to them.
You are probably correct, SL is leveraged to market moves in this way
I thought 8% might be from that new government pension thingy. Ive not read alot on it0 -
They wouldn't be hedged on the assets under management for the general public's UK dividend income blahblah fund.
Looking at the summary they had £2.8B of net inflow and £12.2B of market increase YTD.0 -
Just promoting this thread to record that Standard Life is at/near a record high.
It jumped on the announcement that it is selling its Canadian operations for much more than most people thought they were worth and will be returning 73p/share to holders in cash.
