Mar 06, 2017, 11:12 AM

Tim Harrison, Head of Wealth Management at Linear Investments talks about the biggest M&A news - Standard Life to buy Aberdeen in $4.5 billion stock deal and Vauxhall-Opel sold by GM to Peugeot-Citroen.

Harrison says the Standard Life and Aberdeen deal is a sign of desperation! And adds, “More nimble… human driven asset management still has future”

About Snap IPO - Harrison says it will be interesting to see other Unicorns follow suit. These are interesting times, but I am starting to get nervous, he says.
