Ivory and Sime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ivory and Sime was established in the late 1800s with the formation of the British Assets Trust.

Friends Provident, the mutual life assurer, performed a reverse takeover of Ivory and Sime, the fund manager, in a £132m deal that resulted in the creation of a group called Friends Ivory & Sime. The deal was announced on 8 November 1997.[1]

In July 2001, Aberdeen Asset Management bought out the company from the Friends Ivory & Sime in a cash deal worth £6.5m plus the value of the net assets at completion, which at the time was expected to amount to an additional £2.1m.[2]
