Name the company, this is another bulltulip scare story, Aberdeen Asset who manage 1 trillion back a Yes vote.Originally posted by minestrone View PostI know a small Scottish financial company that has agreed to open an office in England on the back of requests from scots wanting to move control of their financial affairs south.
People with large sums of money don't want to leave it here if there is a yes vote. The public are driving much of this themselves. It is lunacy to discount capital flight as it is happening now.
Can you name the company? How much do they manage?Comment
