Aberdeen Asset Management was the stand out performer on Monday after it said assets under management (AuM) increased in the last six months, as risk appetite continued to improve. AuM increased 13% to £212.3bn for six months to March 31st 2013 from the same time a year earlier on the back of a positive market, currency performance and net new business flows. Mining group Fresnillo was another strong riser after announcing plans to issue just over 19.6m shares - equal to around 2.74% of the current shares in the company - to funds and accounts managed by First Eagle Investment Management, an existing shareholder. Eurasian Natural Resources was on the rise after Nomura upgraded it from 'reduce' to 'neutral' with a target price of 300p. Meanwhile, Reed Elsevier was weighing on the market after Citigroup downgraded the stock to 'neutral'. Croda International fell after UBS reduced its target price from 2,550p to 2,420p, leaving its 'sell' recommendation unchanged. Sainsbury shares were hit after Citigroup downgraded the supermarket to 'neutral' with a target price of 385p.
