The FTSE 250 was down 1.30% at 19,812.42 at 1417 BST on a quiet day for corporate news.
Shares in investment outfit Apax Global Alpha topped the risers after it revealed on Friday that the Apax X Fund, in which it is a limited partner, had sold its controlling stake in MyCase to AffiniPay.
Apax said the sale of MyCase, which provides cloud-based legal practice management software and payment services, valued AGA’s current look-through investment in the portfolio company at approximately €22.5m, representing an uplift of about 48% to last unaffected valuations and roughly €7.3m in the adjusted net asset value of AGA as of 31 March.
Shares in luxury car maker Aston Martin Lagonda were lower as fears of a slowdown in China, a key market for the firm, spooked investors.
