"This is a solid business, but higher growth and operational gearing are available elsewhere in the wealth sector, and we fear traditional discretionary fund managers will be squeezed by advice businesses, platforms and upmarket players," the bank said.

At 0910 GMT, the shares were down 4.4% at 1,823.60p.
