Rachel Reeves promises ‘big bang’ on growth as she launches pensions review



The Treasury noted by the end of the decade, defined contribution schemes will be managing around £800bn in assets, representing a huge pool of capital that could be funnelled into high growth start-ups or crucial pieces of infrastructure.

“Even a one percentage point shift of assets into productive investments could mean £8bn of new productive investment,” the Treasury said.

The review will explore how to harness the £360bn Local Government Pensions Scheme (LGPS), which is the seventh largest pension scheme in the world.

If insufficient progress has been made by March 2025, the government will consider mandating pooling.

CS Venkatakrishnan, boss of Barclays said: “Pensions reforms are critical to unlocking institutional investment in growth equity, and alongside a streamlining of listing requirements, will give a significant boost to UK capital markets and growth”.

Andrea Rossi, boss of M&G said a pensions review was “long overdue” while Miles Celic, chief executive of the TheCityUK, said it will be an “important mechanism” to help improve people’s retirement incomes and boost growth.

ALEX BRUMMER: UK becomes a safe haven for investors



A centrist Government, with a big majority, looks to provide an attractive venue for investors. If the currency is evidence of confidence the surge in the pound towards $1.30 must be regarded as a triumph.

Sterling strength helps the Bank of England fight inflation as prices for oil and other commodities, priced in dollars, become cheaper.

Fund managers, including the world's largest asset manager Blackrock, are upbeat. Pictet Wealth Management says the UK is enjoying 'a honeymoon period.'

Personally I think using P/E ratios for Insurance Company comparisons is a minefield.
As they are each substantially different.

Aviva - UK orientated with a substantial General Insurance Business
L&G - Uk and International - Life and Asset Management
Prudential - Non UK
Admiral - A marketing based operation with operating functions (Re-insurance and Claims Management) sub contracted

Also the actual calculation of 'Earnings' is a Art not a Science, as each will have differing and unknown reserving policies

Using Cash Generation multiples would be more realistic but a subjective judgement is still required of the relatve 'ratings'

Could Aviva shares reach £5.84 in the next 12 months?



Let’s start by looking at its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. As shown below, it currently sits just above 13. For context, the Footsie average is 11. Rivals Legal & General (32.2), Admiral Group (23.4), and Prudential (15.4) all trade on higher multiples.
