What the Analysts think about Close Brothers

Bulls say / Bears say

Close Brothers agreed to sell its wealth management division to Oaktree for up to £200 million in equity value, keeping approximately £172 million in upfront cash proceeds to strengthen its balance sheet amid regulatory pressures (Bloomberg).
The company streamlined its business by agreeing to sell Winterflood Securities to Marex for £103.9 million in cash, focusing more closely on its core lending operations and improving capital efficiency (Reuters).
Close Brothers Asset Management increased assets under management by 7% to over £16 billion as of July 2023, demonstrating solid net inflows and strong client demand prior to divestment (Reuters).
After the Supreme Court ruling on motor finance commissions, Close Brothers made no changes to its existing £165 million provision, which raises concerns that it may be under-provided for potential compensation liabilities (Reuters).
The FCA’s six-week consultation estimates motor finance redress costs at £8.2–9.7 billion, while RBC analysts forecast £11.5 billion in claims—much higher than Close Brothers’ £165 million provision—potentially exposing the group to further capital requirements (Reuters, Reuters).
The FCA warned that redress for mis-sold motor loans could be among the costliest financial scandals in the UK, yet lenders have put aside just over £2 billion in total—suggesting a substantial funding gap that could force Close Brothers to raise additional capital (Reuters).
