FTSE 250 movers: Caledonia gains on sale

(Sharecast News) - Caledonia Investments said it was selling its majority stake in retail wealth manager Seven Investment Management (7IM), to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board for £255m.

The cash will be held on deposit for future investment. Caledonia's shareholding in 7IM was valued at £187.1m at the end of March, excluding a further £13.2m which will be invested into the business prior to completion.
