Perhaps they're all accountants like me and like round numbers!
Suet the accountant = boring.

Why is getting to 5 an issue again?

[yf23_1] 26/8/2024 16:15

Just switched sites so am doing a bit more on the commute. Was only 2 miles before. All these short journeys didn't charge the battery enough for the start/stop to work so will be interesting to see if it comes back now.

Anybody else tried AvivaZero for petrol cars ?

Take the car for a blast down the A roads should blow away the cobwebs.

Low mileage drivers are more risk. It seems counter intuitive but generally if we do something less there is a higher chance we do it wrong.There is likely an optimum zone between higher risk for lower mileage and higher risk for greater. Upping yours pushed you into a more favourable zone.

I'm not complaining but I don't get it.....
Just reinsured my car with AvivaZero and I got quoted 15% less than last year.
I noted that the value of car was a bit low so upped that by 30% and added 1,000 mileage to 4,000.
New quote was another 3% less !???
Included RAC roadside at £15 !??

Guess I'm just lucky.

Oh I see thanks, so it's *Aviva's* shareholdings, doh!I had only previously seen 8.3s in relation to companies being bid for...

[skinny] 23/8/2024 11:05

They relate to companies where Aviva has a greater than 1% shareholding.

[cyberbub] 23/8/2024 11:01

Re my question yesterday, can anyone tell me why there are continual Form 8.3 declarations, when AFAIK the company isn't under offer?

[mj19] 23/8/2024 10:58

Clearly someone wanted in under £5

Faith in Aviva model can reap dividends

Aviva’s target for operating profit growth implies that it must grow by 11% each year, which is no mean feat, but so far it appears to be on track. Recent half-year results showed a 14% rise in adjusted operating profit to £875m, beating expectations. Aviva is not the highest-yielding insurer listed in London — Legal & General offers a forward yield of 9%, according to forecasts compiled by FactSet. It is, however, at a small discount to some of its closest rivals on a price-to-book basis, which measures its market value against its “book value”, its total assets minus its total liabilities. On this basis, the shares trade at a ratio of 1.6, compared with Legal & General at 3.9, Allianz at 2.1 and AXA at 1.8. This discount on the shares means it is not possible to rule out future takeover interest — late last year takeover rumours swirled around the stock, and previous reports have suggested that Allianz was at one point considering a bid for the company.

This column last rated Aviva as a buy in the spring of last year. Since then the shares have delivered a total return of 36%, more than double that of the FTSE 100, which returned 15%. For a group with a market-leading position, strong diversification and a clear growth plan that paves the way for rising dividends, the price tag on the shares still looks too cheap.

Advice: Buy
Why: Shares too cheap given simplified model and clear growth plan
