The motivations for the mergers are outlined, the actual daily returns of RBS, NatWest, BoS and L&G, and of the FTSE All Share index for the period from October 1998 to August 1999 are calculated, portfolios of major British banking groups are described, shareholder returns are estimated, limitations of the study and further research perspectives are indicated. Conclusions are made about the background for consolidation within the banking industry.
