Abrdn, the Edinburgh-headquartered fund group, is set to announce hundreds of job cuts as part of an ongoing cost-saving drive.

The £496bn UK-listed fund management group is expected to announce the job cuts alongside a trading update on 24 January, according to Sky News. The cuts could affect around 10% of Abrdn’s almost 5,000-strong workforce.
