aberdeen asset managemnt this company has fallen from 1.90 per share in may down to 1.34 now. despite having really good broker recommendations, as being a strong buy. Lets hear views and whether or not if you thing they have a good chance of recovery. I have quite a few shares and am wondering whether to stick with or move the money into something else.

Scalped a few points long on the rise, back above 400.0, watching and waiting before taking a punt for 200DMA to be breached.

Chart looking good to close gap @ 420p

Febuary 6 2014 1.04pm The Wall Street Journal. In Defense Of Aberdeen.


By Sarah Krouse

Aberdeen Asset Management has come under pressure this year as investors shed their exposure to emerging markets.

But analysts at RBC Capital Markets said investors shouldn't give up on the fund manager yet.

After a nearly 20% drop in the company's share price this year, compared to a roughly 4% drop in the broader FTSE 100 index, RBC analysts said in a note Thursday that the stock's current price takes into account "overly bearish assumptions" about the company's performance.

One thing RBC analysts believe Aberdeen has working in its favour is its acquisition of Scottish Widows Investment Partners from Lloyds Banking Group. The deal announced in November will help Aberdeen diversify away from its heavy exposure to emerging markets and Asia Pacific equities. That exposure, the analysts say, will drop to 24% from 40% when the deal is complete.

The share price is also being hit by short sellers rather than long - term owners exiting their holdings, they said.

The analysts added the firm has a strong balance sheet and the highest upside potential of any fund manager they cover, but did anticipate net outflows and "slipping investment performance."

"Today is not the time to abandon Aberdeen, as value, yield, buybacks and a transformational acquisition are either present or pending," they wrote.

Earlier this week Aberdeen published a note in defense of emerging markets.

"Emerging markets have a history of scares and what follows the latest bout of uncertainty will merely be a natural and healthy adjustment. Policymakers and company management are more than equipped to deal with cyclical change they have been here before." Nothing to see hear folks.

Still, the fund manager called 2013 a year to forget for developing markets because of the impact of U.S. monetry policy. It pointed to a difference of 29% in the performance of the MSCI World Index versus the less impressive MSCI Emerging Markets Index last year.

This stock is probably a screaming buy now, just a wee bit more downside to go I reckon. Timing as ever.

Long on the spreads @ 368.0

Their owns funds not doing especially well just now I think ?
Perhaps we need to wait and see how Scottish Widows will be absorbed ?
Seems their may still be turmoil in emerging markets ?
Probably a share to watch and buy on a bad day ?
Do you agree Chris ?

I do agree rekirham, that's why i have started buying on the dips.

ABERDEEN RECEIVES REGULATORY APPROVAL FOR ACQUISITION OF SCOTTISH WIDOWS INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP

Further to the announcement by Aberdeen Asset Management PLC ("Aberdeen" or "Company") on 18 November 2013 relating to the acquisition of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership Group Limited ("SWIP"), Aberdeen is pleased to announce that the Financial Conduct Authority has today confirmed its consent to the proposed change of control. As a result, the acquisition is expected to complete following close of business on 31 March 2014. The Company expects to issue a statement on 1 April 2014 to confirm that completion has taken place and to issue a trading update on the same day.

Martin Gilbert, chief executive of Aberdeen Asset Management, comments:
"I am delighted that we have obtained regulatory approval for the acquisition of SWIP. We will continue to work closely with SWIP and Lloyds Banking Group to ensure a smooth completion process. The way we have already worked together to develop a structured integration plan is very encouraging and means that the migration process will begin very shortly after completion. This co-operation confirms my belief that the combination of the two businesses and our strategic relationship with Lloyds will be of great long-term benefit to our shareholders and clients, whom I would like to thank for their continued support throughout this process. Everyone at Aberdeen is looking forward to working with our new colleagues from SWIP.

"The deal combines and broadens the investment capabilities of both businesses. The combined business will have a far stronger and more diverse range of investment management skills as well as significant scale across asset classes and geographies, which will enable us to deliver an even better service for our enlarged client base. This includes investors who will benefit from yesterday's Budget announcement giving them more freedom to invest their pension pots when they retire."
