Lloyds sells out of Standard Life Aberdeen amid competition row

Lloyds Banking Group has sold its entire stake in Standard Life Aberdeen, a month after the Scottish fund manager embarked on a contract dispute with the UK bank over a £109bn investment mandate.

In an announcement to the London Stock Exchange on Friday, Lloyds said it had sold its “remaining stake” in SLA, which represents approximately 3.3% of the company's issued ordinary share capital and is worth around £473m.
