The UK-listed subprime lender saw its shares plunge last summer after its second profit warning of 2017 and the departure of its CEO

Aberdeen Standard Investments is considering suing UK-listed suprime lender Provident Financial over failures to disclose a regulatory investigation into its Vanquis Bank subsidiary.

If legal action is brought by the €638bn fund manager it will be another blow to Provident, which saw its shares plunge in August after it issued its second profit warning of 2017.
