Just had an email saying that ii is merging with abrdn.
The company with all the vowels is merging with the company with none.
This can only be an advantage for all concerned, surely...?

I don't think there is much evidence that buying in a business makes the buyer company stronger.
Does this really offer any synergies?
Well it expands the customer listing that abdrn can reach and ... tht's t (just dropped a vowel or two)

If they binned that one, too, they'd surely just be a burden...
