Arbuthnot Banking Group (ARBB) | Trading update: taking ABG to the next level

 

In our view, the key takeaway from the recent 3Q trading statement is how ABG is progressing strategically towards its “Future State 2” plan. In particular, we note i) specialist SME finance divisions generating the ambitious balance sheet growth in the plan, ii) optimising the core relationship banking franchise, which, in this period, saw 7% deposit growth ‒ given the level of base rates, this is a profitable product for a relationship bank, and iii) continued investment, which, at times, requires a step change in cost rather than a gentle evolution. To meet expected multi-year demand, ABG is increasing its central London HQ office space by 45% at an annual increase in cost of ca.£5m (with further dual running costs until October 2024 as it is refitted).

The Monthly: February 2026

Stormy times at present – a sunnier outlook? Undoubtedly, 2025 was a difficult year for Infrastructure Investment Companies (IICs) and Renewable Energy Infrastructure Funds (REIFs). Investors have seen underperformance against the FTSE 100, widening NAV discounts, several delistings, managed wind-downs (MWDs) and regulatory issues both in the UK and in the US. The question for investors is: where do we go from here? On the one hand, yields for some REIFS are well over twice those of 10-year gil...
