Lloyds Banking Group could be about to sell its entire stake in St James’s Place.
According to The Independent on Sunday, Lloyds plans to sell its 60% interest in the tied-adviser as part of plans to return to profit in 2010.
St James's Place made an operating profit of £229m in 2009, well ahead of analysts' expectations. Its share price has increased by almost 50% to 249.3p over the past twelve months.
Lloyds is also thought to be planning a sale of other brands, to comply with EU competition laws and help repay its substantial Government loans.
