I believe (without trawling through all the guff) basic salaries remained untouched. Bonuses were trimmed I think. I'm sure someone far more knowledgeable than myself can either confirm or correct. spud

DJ futures up... Come on Aviva.. Try harder

I'm not sure L&G and Aviva can really be compared so much these days. Aviva are old school composite, while L&G have sold off everything except their fund management side. I was even surprised my wife's redundancy cover although branded L&G, is absolutely nothing to do with them.

With the market quite bullish today, why are AV. and LGEN in the doghouse? I keep looking at the gap between the two company's P/E ratio and remain baffled by the disparity. I understand that a few here question the management, the dividend issue, etc., but in acting in such a conservative manner AV. are financially in far stronger financial health. Mind you they could be exposed to a opportunist T/O, but management have the flexibility to take some initiatives to enhance improved sentiment...much needed.

I doubt that the FCA will do anything. Any action on their part now would just expose the fact that they should have acted at the time and as usual did nothing. Difficult to see what they could do anyway as technically Aviva were most likely correct ,if not morally so.

The Financial Conduct Authority has given a strong hint that it is trying to take enforcement action against Aviva over the preference shares affair of two years ago and that Aviva is resisting.

wba if half or even a quarter of the gov idiocy that has gone on in past few months ever comes out it would make you want to leave the country for good. if i didnt have young people in school i would be gone pronto. its bad enough knackering the country for no reason but to now likely increase taxes to pay for the folly is unforgiveable

Got to disagree about civil servants and politicians. I still remember going to a meeting as part of the group from the ABI Motor Committee. We were meeting government reps (civil servants) to discuss an issue that I can't even recall - because it was the nature of the meeting that stuck in the mind. There were civil servants from Treasury, Home Office and Transport, and we could have agreed with any of them. But each had been briefed by their political masters and we spent the entire time listening to them explaining to each other why their masters could not agree with the position of the other departments. And I agree it would be the same with any party. That meeting was at the time of the Labour Party in power.

They were even more embarrassed than us. My understanding (from a cricket contact in a key ministry) is that the latest idiocy over the contact app was the direct result of politicians overruling the experts recommendation to adapt existing apps operating elsewhere. And I am guessing that we all know from our businesses that building any new system from scratch (unless essential) is asking for trouble.

tornado12 yes i agree and with lgen paying their dividend it makes AV. look like there is a problem with its business why even would the very poor management team in place want this,I also averaged down in the hope they get shown the door.
They are definitely the major cause of Aviva problems.

..Couldn't agree more cjac39

Euro - maybe in part but it’s the govt that listened to the idiotic theoretical models that were not based on existing data from China and believed 500k deaths was possible, panicked and shut down unnecessarily. However I can accept they panicked and thought it was necessary. What I can’t accept now is the govt still persists with a lockdown which is demonstrably unnecessary because they don’t want to admit it wasn’t needed in the first place. Extra deaths from lockdown and loss of jobs are real and on their hands.

The good news for aviva coming through now is the real estate market is actually doing ok and credit defaults look entirely manageable so there is no existential downside risk I can see
