Aviva Share Discussion Threads

Just to point out as well, the last full year dividend total pre covid was already 30p. They have reduced it post covid, and now increased it again with 24% shares. I wasn't in pre covid though so i don't feel that pain.

well as it stands I lost 500 shares and got £1862.96 - so £3.72 a share

what a rubbish deal for shareholders this capital return has been - if I wanted to sell 500 shares at £3.72 I would have done

[coxsmn] 20/5/2022 18:58

A no brainer.

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 17:47

Yes agreed.My workings were just in reference to number of shares.

...'So if you buy back for £4.237 or less inc costs you are back to same position and no worse off'.'
!!!
Apart from the fact that if you reinvest all the B share proceeds you will considerably increase your income
by about 20+% over last year
...and you have increased your % ownership of the Company

Re brokers... My 3 Freetrade accounts all up to date with dividend and b share proceeds by early evening yesterday. I've been planning to move to ii after the Aviva transactions had completed due to Freetrade's new enforced share lending. So interesting to see the comments about ii above, particularly from you Spud.

Thanks tornado and wadders for your reply, I thought I remembered seeing around £4.25 but wasn’t sure. Like you I might hold off adding yet as it may drop under £4.

Worth clearing the cache, switching on and off again, re-setting the router, etc, etc. Apologies if trying to teach granny how to suck eggs ;-)

cheers - must be my connection then - odd as other sites working fine. It's working on mobile phone though.

[cwa1] 20/5/2022 15:49

Been on and off ii several times today without problem and just logged on this minute to try it sucessfully

[mister md] 20/5/2022 15:39

anyone else having issues logging onto ii site today ?

HSBC have paid dividend, but not capital return.

[cyberian] 20/5/2022 14:30

tornado...agree to a large extent but China is key as supply chain has been seriously disrupted but there are signs that China is starting to adopt a more realistic approach to Covid developments. This should help calm inflation and separately Russia may start to re-dress its original aims on Ukraine and settle for less....economic and political isolation is not in their longer term interest. I maybe wrong in my optimism but we will just have to see how things pan-out over the next few weeks.

Barclays just paid the capital return!!!

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 14:06

If you had 1000 shares you now have 760 shares and £1,016.90. So £1016.90/240=£4.237.So if you buy back for £4.237 or less inc costs you are back to same position and no worse off.

[tornado12] 20/5/2022 13:51

It was 4,24 GBP at original MC... I am not buying as yes today a recovery but sure there's plenty of bad news to get this back below 4 quid. Need patience as the outlook for slow down is really real unless really positive news from War & China can change the direction.

[warranty] 20/5/2022 13:12

Is there any actual nominated share price value given for the B shares dividend. I mean a figure which was calculated to ensure your holding effectively stays the same after the reduction? I don’t know whether to buy today or wait. I’m not looking to gain just to ensure that I’m not paying more than any calculated price and I end up the same as before.

[waterloo01] 20/5/2022 11:37

Still nothing from Barclays. Shower of a company

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 09:51

A mixture of the latter two. I like a day trade here and there if i see an opportunity for a quick profit.

According to Keynes people hold money in cash for three motives , transactions, precautionary, and speculative motives.

[unastubbs] 20/5/2022 09:36

how do you mean? in terms of your portfolio allocation? fwiw - av. are just under 20% of mine. I only hold ten stocks, I tend to go for the conviction strategy.
