...
In recent developments, NatWest Group Pension Fund is reportedly contemplating the sale of its stake in Phoenix Energy, a greenfield project co-owned by the fund and the Utilities Trust of Australia. The stake, valued at £1.2 billion (GBP1 = USD1.0524), has attracted interest from investors based in Europe and Asia.

Phoenix Energy was initiated as a greenfield project by British Gas Plc back in 1996. It now delivers natural gas to over 350,000 households in Northern Ireland. The NatWest Group Pension Fund, previously known as Royal Bank of Scotland Group (LON:NWG) Pension Fund, along with the Utilities Trust of Australia, acquired their stakes in Phoenix Energy in 2013.

Skandal um Konto-Schließung von Nigel Farage kostet Bankchefin Job
https://www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/17172948-skandal-…
...
Finanz-Staatssekretär Andrew Griffiths begrüßte am Mittwoch den Rücktritt der Bank-Chefin. "Das wäre nie passiert, wenn NatWest sich nicht herausgenommen hätte, das Konto von jemandem aufgrund dessen legaler politischer Ansichten zu schließen. Das war und ist immer inakzeptabel", twitterte der konservative Politiker.

Wie Farage aus internen Bank-Dokumenten, deren Herausgabe er erzwungen hatte, in der vergangenen Woche nachweisen konnte, waren die Gründe für die Kontoschließung nicht allein finanziell. Daraus ging hervor, dass sich das Geldhaus Sorgen machte um seine Reputation mit dem Rechtspopulisten Farage als Kunden.

Farage beklagte sich über politische Diskriminierung und machte geltend, er habe Schwierigkeiten, überhaupt ein Konto zu bekommen. Er erhielt Rückendeckung von der Regierung. Selbst Premierminister Rishi Sunak äußerte sich in der Angelegenheit und kündigte an, die Regeln für Kontoschließungen zu verschärfen.

State and NatWest offload 10% of Permanent TSB
Government and UK bank sell two thirds more of lender than had been expected
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2023/06/02/state-and-nat…
...
NatWest received a 16.7 per cent stake late last year as part payment for loans it sold in its Ulster Bank unit to PTSB. This avoided PTSB having to go to the State and other shareholders for cash to help complete the loans purchase.

The deal has reduced Irish taxpayers’ stake in the bank from 62.4 per cent to 57.4 per cent, while NatWest’s has fallen to from 16.7 per cent to 11.7 per cent. The shares were sold at €2.025 each, representing an almost 8 per cent discount to their closing price on Thursday.

NatWest chief executive Alison Rose said: “This transaction represents further positive progress on our phased withdrawal from the Republic of Ireland.”

Britain chips away at NatWest stake with $1.6 billion share sale
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/britain-lowers-stake-natwest-…
...
British state-backed bank NatWest has agreed to buy 1.3 billion pounds ($1.6 billion) worth of its shares back from the government, as it edges closer towards private ownership 15 years after it was bailed out in the global financial crisis.

The deal will reduce the government's stake in the former Royal Bank of Scotland to 38.69% from around 41.4%.

The bank returned to majority private ownership in March 2022 after a similar block sale, as the government targets fully returning NatWest to private ownership by 2026.

NatWest Shares Drop as Lack of Guidance Upgrade Disappoints
https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/202304283785/natw…
...
NatWest shares tumble to the bottom of the FTSE 100 index at market open after the British bank reported first-quarter results. Shares open more than 6.5% lower at around 254 pence. The lender's lack of upgrade to its 2023 revenue guidance is likely to disappoint despite the earnings beat on better credit costs and noninterest income, Jefferies says in a note.

"Management really needed to raise the GBP14.8 billion 2023 revenue guide to around GBP15 billion given the incremental 25bps rate hike and higher swap rates," analyst Joseph Dickerson and associate Aqil Taiyeb say. NatWest's backing of its outlook guidance issued in February was the price-sensitive element of the update, they say.
