Aberdeen chair says some asset managers may have put themselves at legal risk by exaggerating ESG roleBusiness live – latest updatesPension funds and institutional investors made a “huge mistake” and exaggerated their role in environmental, social and government (ESG) issues to promote their products, the outgoing chair of Aberdeen Group, Douglas Flint, has said.Flint, who has chaired the recently rebranded fund manager since 2019, said “ridiculously extravagant claims” had been made by some companies, which were driven by a mindset that their job was “not really about investing money: we're just jolly good people and we're saving the world”.

To all who think capitalism can drive progressive change, it won′t – and here′s the shocking proof | Polly Toynbee (The Guardian)

Asset manager Aberdeen's surprise cut to funding research into inequality has left those that used its grants for good works reelingThe axe fell with shocking suddenness. On Thursday Aberdeen Group plc terminated its Financial Fairness Trust without notice and sacked the CEO, Mubin Haq, the chair and all the trustees, leaving eight staff dangling. The company tells me it plans to move in a different direction. That dreaded phrase marks the end of 16 remarkable years, during which the trust sponsored some of the most influential research into inequality and its financial causes.Aberdeen is a wealth management and investment company. I admired its willingness to fund research not in its own immediate interest, but for the sake of social improvement, as a sign that decent capitalism was possible. Now that's over. The mood has changed. Wildfires started by President Trump are engulfing global companies as his administration attempts to bar asset and retirement plan managers from considering environmental, s...

Marke: Aberdeen gesteht ein, was alle wussten: Der Name „abrdn“ war ein Fehltritt (Das Investment)
|
|
Erst warf Aberdeen die Vokale weg, jetzt die unsinnige Idee dahinter. Der neue Chef Jason Windsor beendet das "abrdn"-Debakel seines Vorgängers. Gut so. Ein Meinungsartikel.Aus irgendeinem Grund überfällt Männer in den besten Jahren die verzweifelte Sehnsucht, noch einmal jugendlich zu wirken. Die einen kaufen sich ein Cabrio, die anderen eine Lederjacke, manche lassen sich die Love Handles wegfrosten. Dasselbe Phänomen trifft offenbar auch Finanzkonzerne. Statt einer Lederjacke werfen sie eben ihre Vokale weg, als wären es überflüssige Altlasten. So geschehen beim Asset Manager Aberdeen, der sich 2021 tatsächlich in „abrdn" umbenannte und damit plötzlich wirkte wie ein überspanntes......

It ditched its ridiculous name, and Aberdeen′s numbers are starting to look better too (The Guardian)
|

Abrdn executives seemed to spend half their time explaining the pronunciation, or complaining of 'childish' jokesC'mon Abrdn, abndn the silly name, urged this column and many others when Standard Life Aberdeen decided to shorten its name to that of the granite city, just without three-quarters of the vowels. Now – four years and one chief executive later – the nonsense has been stopped. Aberdeen it is, albeit the group still can't manage an upper case “A”.“One of the easiest decisions I have ever had to make,” said its new boss, Jason Windsor, undoing the handiwork of his predecessor, Stphn Brd. One doesn't doubt it. The original guff about having a “modern, agile and digitally enabled brand” was always likely to collide with the reality that a name that causes the reader to pause for breath doesn't work unless you're sending a text message. Abrdn executives seem to have spent half their time explaining the pronunciation, or inviting fresh ridicule by grumbling about the wicked medi...
