A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, proclaims Proverbs.
Since the 2017 merger of Martin Gilbert’s Aberdeen Asset Management and the dowager of Scottish insurance, Standard Life, the two firms have contrived to damage both titles.

Ex-Serco Exec Felt Uncomfortable About Understating Profits
