Per operatori professionali, capitale a rischio

In an election year, and ahead of the Spring Budget, we have today launched our ‘Manifesto to get Britain investing’. While the housing ladder has become central to how many think about their financial lives, pensions and savings tend not to be treated with the same enthusiasm.
 
Based on new research and polling conducted with Opinium, we’ve put forward five key recommendations to foster a greater saving and investing culture in the UK and to help people onto the savings ladder:   
 
🪜Start a national conversation about saving and investing
🪜Simplify ISAs
🪜Remove Stamp Duty on UK shares and investment trusts
🪜Increase DC pension contributions
🪜Boost and measure financial literacy
 
Read ‘The Savings Ladder: a Manifesto to get Britain investing’ with commentary from our CEO, Stephen Bird and London Stock Exchange CEO, Julia Hoggett.

Welcoming the Year of the Dragon with clients in London🐉

Thank you to our clients and colleagues in London who joined us this evening to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

As our Chairman, Sir Douglas Flint, and CEO, Stephen Bird, highlighted – abrdn is committed to furthering the development of the financial services industry between the UK and China, and collaborating to shape the future direction of our industry.

While abrdn was founded in the UK in 1825, our history in China can be traced back to the establishment of the Yongfu Life Insurance Company in 1847. From that rich heritage in insurance, pensions, and savings, abrdn’s business today has continued to evolve alongside China’s growing investor base.

It was a pleasure to be joined by our clients, industry peers, and key stakeholders who together, represent financial institutions with significant interests in China and are advocates of nurturing the economic and commercial partnership between the UK and China.

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Our 2023 Full year results will be published on Tuesday 27 February at 7am (GMT).
