US Bids and IPOs light up Stewardship
The bid for SLM, one of the largest holdings in the ethical Stewardship International Fund, managed by F&C's Sophie Horsfall, has seen the company's share price sky rocket 35 per cent since the end of last month.
According to Horsfall this is one of the few financial companies she can hold owing to Stewardship's strict ethical screening process.
Horsfall said: "We have held SLM for several years now and started investing whilst it was still in its former guise as Sallie Mae, one of the US Government's sponsored enterprises. The company, which specialises in educational lending, changed its name when it became independent in 2004.
"SLM has been the subject of a $25bn offer at $60 a share from a group comprising JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and two private equity bidders which has pushed the company's share price up from $40.90 at the end of March to $55.31 a share on Wednesday.
