Return To The FTSE 100 Index
Abrdn was dropped from the FTSE 100 index in August 2022 after being excluded from the top UK corporations. That happened because of the effects of the Aberdeen Asset Management and Standard Life merger in 2017. It also suffered a 40% decline in its share worth from the beginning of 2022.
FTSE Russell revealed that they would rejoin the index on the blue-chip shares listing in November 2022. Some efforts to return the company to its former glory included the Interactive Investor transaction, integrating a new brand technique, rationalizing underperforming funds, and announcing a chunky capital return program.
Stephen Bird, the organization’s Chief Govt, said that some people are frustrated by the slow-paced change since the merger happened. He added that he has been working for the organization since September 2020, and they are moving as fast as they can manage the change.
