I do hope standard life can react as good as this one when it reports next week, great day for longs after such a beating of late.

Sold a few calls against my holding to increase yield.

Good results. I did not know that 42% of their earnings are foreign. Should help to support the share price during a GBP decline.
(Remain long).

Solid results. Huge future potential.So. Mr Carney. Over to you....

Closed the sb just now. It's becoming predictable under Wilson. Not a huge bet, but always nice to win.

Gary, if that's the best thing you ever did your life must be pretty dull!

Today should be a boost for the whole sector.

Almost time to find out.

[garycook] 04/8/2016 07:34

Still better Dividends to be had in the sector eg.CSN 6.15%,HSD 7.7%,LGEN 6.5%,PHNX 7%,SL 6.12%.Held AV for many years but sold out at £6,when they took over Friends Life.Best thing I ever did.AV must be the worst performing Life insurer in the sector.Put my money into HSD,and PHNX.LGEN,is a better bet than AV right now.

Interim Dividend UP 10% Now 7.42 p Paid 17 Nov 2016

[zho] 04/8/2016 07:05

Mark Wilson, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

"Operating profits are up 13% and the dividend is up 10%. We are delivering consistent, stable and predictable growth despite challenging market conditions.

"Our UK businesses delivered encouraging results. We are growing in the UK, we are investing in the UK. We like the UK. And we are also benefitting from Aviva's diversity, with 42% of our earnings1 coming from outside of the UK.

"The 10% increase in the dividend, up 32% since 2013, is another step towards our target pay-out ratio of 50% and underpins our confidence in delivering sustainable and growing returns.

"We are continuing to maintain a strong balance sheet, with a solvency ratio of 174%2,3, toward the upper end of our working range.

"Aviva's strong financial position and diversity mean we are well insulated from external events. We have deliberately designed Aviva to be resilient to a low interest rate environment.

"We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our key commitments to grow earnings, cash and dividends."

Yes I echo that, good luck... This has been up past 3.92 for weeks now

[nicksoj] 03/8/2016 17:16

Good luck to all ?

[uppompeii] 03/8/2016 15:47

Good luck Dr, I'm tempted but already have too many of these.

[dr biotech] 03/8/2016 14:47

My biggest single holdings are GSK/AV/BARC/SL - the financials have all been hit hard by brexit and I am underwater on the last two. My average here is pretty good, particularly if you include the dividends. Its been a long term core holding for me.

I am hopeful for tomorrow - hence the SB.
