IJR News — today's news from every side

Standard Life's operating profit surges 25% despite £179m statutory loss — 6hStandard Life reported stronger-than-expected half-year results, with IFRS adjusted operating profit up 25% to £563m, while posting a £179m loss driven largely by planned investment spend; the group says it remains on track to deliver its 2026 targets and cites momentum across pensions, savings and capital-light businesses. The company also flagged the £2bn acquisition of Aegon UK and a UK pension risk transfer partnership as key catalysts for growth and enhanced cash generation, underpinning its upbeat outlook despite the H1 loss.

Dana Whitfield The Aegon deal is the real story here - if that integration goes smoothly it could actually justify some of this optimism.
