Investors ‘dazed and confused’ by Standard Life Aberdeen rebrand
‘Paid too much attention to the twenty-something marketing kids as opposed to the grown ups who are likely to be investors’
Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA) has changed its name to Abdrn in what has been described as one of the “most poorly conceived” rebranding exercises that will leave investors “dazed and confused”.
Abrdn – pronounced Aberdeen – will be part of a “modern, agile, digitally-enabled brand”, SLA said in a press release announcing the change on Monday.
SLA said the decision “marks the next stage in the reshaping of the business and future-focused growth strategy” after it announced the sale of the Standard Life brand to Phoenix Group in February in return for £34m “to settle legacy matters”.
