Aberdeen Group PLC - Edinburgh-based asset manager - Assets under management decline by 2.2% to GBP500.1 billion as of March 31 from GBP511.4 billion on December 31, as Aberdeen suffers GBP5.2 billion in net outflows in the first quarter, compared to GBP800 million in net inflows a year before. The outflows are concentrated in Institutional & Retail Wealth at GBP4.1 billion, while the Insurance Partners area has GBP2.3 billion in net outflows. Aberdeen says a previously disclosed GBP4.2 billion redemption of a low-margin investment mandate was the main cause of the net outflows. They are partly offset by GBP1.6 billion in net inflows for the interactive investor retail platform. Read More

Aberdeen Group PLC - Edinburgh-based asset manager - The company's new name - complete with both vowels and capital letters - is registered with UK Companies House on Wednesday. When Aberdeen earlier this month first announced plans to change its name from 'abrdn', it showed the new name as 'aberdeen group'. On Thursday, Aberdeen says its new name is 'Aberdeen Group', while its brand is 'aberdeen'. The financial firm attracted much market ridicule for changing its name to abrdn from Standard Life Aberdeen back in 2021. Chief Executive Officer Jason Windsor, in announcing the latest name change, said it was aimed at "removing distractions", but the lack of capitalisation attracted yet more jests. Aberdeen made no further comment on the name change on Thursday. The company's ticker remains ABDN, and its ISIN number is unchanged. Read More
