Getting cheaper too!!

[cordwainer] 20/11/2018 14:53

scary chart for a holder tho

I agree.
AJ Bell is about to float its platform (the company currently has around 183,400 clients and has assets under administration exceeding £42 billion) and here for comparison are Aviva figures;



.....platform assets reached £22.7bn...

and ..assets under management in the provider’s long-term savings business were up 11 per cent to £121bn.
I bet its a cheaper buy to own Aviva than the AJ Bell IPO!

Current yield = 6.6%, forecast to rise to 7.3% next year.Current PE = 7.3, forecast to drop to 6.8 next year. Feels pretty damn cheap to me!!

I know what you mean, trouble is tfergi there is no outcome yet. Lots of uncertainty is killing financials and house builders

[tfergi] 15/11/2018 12:59

Looks like the poor performance of late is purely down to the Brexit outcome.Fundamentals still strong.

[tfergi] 08/11/2018 14:46

Good sign. Get a good replacement announced and this will fly.....

[whatsup32] 08/11/2018 14:16

That is good news

400p? Not a big deal, I've brought these in the mid 150s before now.

[tradejunkie2] 08/11/2018 00:25

We all getting ready for less than 400p?

Good.

[tfergi] 07/11/2018 10:43

This isn't going up anytime soon. Regularly falls and does not ever keep up with any larger FTSE gains !

[danielbird193] 06/11/2018 13:21

Ah ok, sorry I'm not as familiar with DLG so was only looking at headline numbers. Still can't believe that Aviva sits at below 420p though!

Valuation of insurance businesses is a complicated game but on any number of measures (PE, price to book, price to free cash flow) Aviva seems to be valued way below many of its listed peers.

[scrwal] 06/11/2018 12:55

I thought DLG update was ok as GWP decline is due to exiting Sainsbury and Nationwide partnerships. Their own brands showed growth which is good as this is where they are focusing.

[danielbird193] 06/11/2018 12:09

Meanwhile AV. shares continue to drop like a lead balloon. I'm sure this morning's uninspiring update from DLG won't have helped, but I'm seriously considering topping-up my already significant stake given the fundamentals here.

In my experience a lot of people save their money to look at in retirement. No worries the next generation will spend it for you.

Re. the care costs thing, probably a smaller percentage than you think. Escape dementia and chances are you will die not long after leaving your Owner Occ. house never having touched the cash pot.

[alphorn] 03/11/2018 13:03

Essential - very true - I had a spinal operation out of the blue - never had any prior problems.

[essentialinvestor] 03/11/2018 12:59

Most assume they are going to enjoy a long healthy retirement,
it's not the reality I've seen from personal experience, at least for many people.

[essentialinvestor] 03/11/2018 12:57

I'm afraid in many cases it just gets largely swallowed up in care costs,
mainly residential. If you don't have experience of the care sector, you may be
surprised at the costs of a decent nursing home, the costs are extraordinary.

[dr biotech] 03/11/2018 12:47

Problem is how many will spend it well before they shuffle off and then have to be helped out by those that are trying to save for their own pensions? There are an astonishing amount of financially illiterate people.

[danielbird193] 03/11/2018 08:44

Yes how ridiculous that we trust people to spend the money they've spent 40 years working to save up. Rather than enjoying retirement, people should be forced to hand over their pension pot to Nanny State to be spent on political vanity projects or distributed to those who've never worked a day in their lives.

[joe say] 03/11/2018 08:29

Bet the Guardian hates that - people taking control of their own lives

[alphorn] 02/11/2018 18:57

A snippet in the Guardian. Information only:

"Hundreds of thousands of pensioners made a record number of withdrawals from their savings pots in last three months, as the flood of those seeking to take personal control of their retirement shows no sign of abating.
Between July and September, 258,000 pensioners made 585,000 withdrawals from their retirement funds, the highest number since April 2015, when the rules were relaxed to permit treating pensions like bank accounts.
The latest figures, published today by HM Revenue and Customs, reveal in the three-and-a-half years of pension freedoms, nearly 5 million withdrawals have been made by over 1.3 million people, totalling £21.6bn."
