Jupiter Fund Management said on Thursday that it has agreed to buy CCLA - the UK's largest asset manager focused on serving non-profit organisations - for £100m.
CCLA manages more than £15bn in assets under management on behalf of charities, religious institutions and local authorities.
Building materials distributor Grafton slumped as it said first-half trading was in line with its expectations but that many of its markets remain challenging and it is not expecting a significant increase in volumes this year. The news hit sector peer Travis Perkins.
Vistry reversed earlier gains as the housebuilder said it remains on track to deliver a year-on-year increase in profits in FY25, supported by a forward order book of £4.3bn and a "strong" pipeline of development opportunities.
