Standard Life Aberdeen Plc shares fell the most since 2016 after Lloyds Banking Group Plc said it will pull almost 20 percent of the money manager’s assets.

The British bank said Thursday it was ending an arrangement through which Standard Life Aberdeen, Britain’s largest active money manager, oversees 109 billion pounds ($153 billion) of assets for the bank.
