The seventh largest asset manager in the world, Capital landed a rather handy profit of around £200m as a result of the takeover offer – on paper at least.
Capital isn't waving its hands quite as much as smaller Scottish firm Baillie Gifford, however. The biggest stakeholder in ARM, it saw the value of its position grow by £700m.
Group hugs all round.
