* FTSE 100 down 0.1%, FTSE 250 flat
* Burberry jumps after Q2 results
* 3i drops after H1 report
Nov 14 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 edged lower on Thursday
as a 9% drop in private equity company 3i and a handful of
stocks trading ex-dividend overshadowed an earnings-driven surge
in luxury brand Burberry.
The main index shed 0.1% as 3i Group III.L hit a
five-month low after its first-half report and heavyweight
components Sainsbury SBRY.L , Shell RDSa.L RDSb.L and GSK
GSK.L dragged as they traded without dividend entitlement.
Luxury brand Burberry BRBY.L , however, surged 8% as the
popularity of designer Riccardo Tisci's collections boosted
quarterly sales and offset declines in Hong Kong where trading
was hit by ongoing protests. The mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC was largely unchanged by 0810
GMT.
