Aberdeen targets cost-cutting as revenues drop 20 per cent

aberdeen-logo1_0Aberdeen Asset Management has today posted interim results showing a drop in revenues of 20 per cent to £483.6m. - down from the six-month revenues to March 2015 of £605.2m.

The asset manager blamed emerging markets for the poor performance as it announced it would be making £70m of annualised cost efficiencies to be delivered in 2017.

The Aberdeen results were published on the same day that banking giant HSBC reported a 14 per cent drop in profits for the first quarter following “extreme levels of volatility” in financial markets at the start of the year.
