Aberdeen said that it is currently not considering talks regarding any acquisitions.

"There’s nothing actively on the go at the moment," Gilbert added.

Gilbert said Aberdeen was looking to expand its existing business in fixed income, property and solutions after its acquisition of SWIP.

"I don’t see any reason why we can’t grow organically," Gilbert said.
