Phoenix Group to raise 950 million pounds to fund Standard Life Aberdeen deal

(Reuters) - Phoenix Group on Friday said it would raise 950 million pounds in a rights issue to finance the acquisition of Standard Life Aberdeen's European life insurance business for 2.93 billion pounds.

The deal would create an enlarged group with 240 billion pounds of legacy assets and 10.4 million policyholders, Britain's largest owner of closed life assurance funds said.
