I have been watching Investec (LON:INVP) for some time now given its value and yield appeal. However there are a few things I don’t understand

Firstly a major share price slide from 520p to 440p around early March starting on 10th and continuing into the next week. Now I know the budget containing major changes to pensions was on 15th but why the slide a few days earlier? Especially as commentators seems to think that Investec (LON:INVP) may get an earnings boost from these changes

Secondly I note the announcement on April 4th of the tie up with Rathbones (LON:RAT) but I cannot see any price movement at that time or since indicating a change in the forecast earnings for Investec (LON:INVP) . However I do see on the stock report a lift in eps from 65p to 70p. Should I be correlating these 2 things?

Can anyone in the community with better knowledge than I shed some light on these seemingly disparate events

I have no access to Research Tree

Thanks
